BAKED BACON RANCH CHICKEN AND PASTA

Steps:

• Place broccoli and water in a microwave-safe bowl. Cover and microwave on high until steamed and tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove and drain excess liquid; set aside.
• While broccoli is steaming, place 1 tablespoon ranch dressing mix in a large resealable plastic bag. Add chicken and pepper, seal the bag, and massage to coat chicken with seasonings.
• Pour chicken broth into a large pot and bring a boil over medium-high heat. Add shells and return to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook, stirring occasionally until pasta is nearly done, about 10 minutes. Drain pasta, reserving 1/2 cup of cooking broth.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish.
• Heat butter and olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken to the hot skillet, working in batches if necessary, and cook until browned on all sides, about 7 minutes. Remove chicken to a plate.
• Add milk, Alfredo sauce mix, and remaining 2 tablespoons ranch dressing mix to the hot skillet; bring to a boil. Turn off the heat, add chicken and any accumulated juices, pasta, broccoli, sour cream, reserved 1/2 cup pasta cooking broth, salt, and pepper. Transfer mixture to the prepared casserole dish and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and bacon.
• Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is melted and sauce is bubbly, about 20 minutes. Serve warm.

SALMON AND BROCCOLI ALFREDO WITH PASTA

Steps:

• In a large stockpot, cook noodles as directed on package.
• While noodles are cooking, flake and drain salmon.
• Yes, this is necessary!
• I was new to canned salmon, and so I didn't believe the instructions, but I soon discovered that salmon truly does come in huge, icky lumps.
• When noodles are 2 to 4 minutes away from being done, add the broccoli to the water.
• This will probably stop the water from boiling, so those 2 to 4 minutes might end up closer to 8 to 10 minutes instead!
• This happened to me, but, amazingly, even with 8 extra minutes of cooking time the broccoli did not become mush.
• Drain pasta and broccoli, reserving about a cup of the cooking water.
• Return noodles and broccoli to pot.
• Add Alfredo and seasonings to taste (I recommend lots of black pepper and--even better--Trader Joe's Sun-Dried Tomato Seasoning Splash, which is sold, not surprisingly, at Trader Joe's-- about 8 teaspoons of it).
• If the sauce is too thick, and it likely will be, dribble in the reserved cooking water slowly until the consistency is right.
• And you're done.
• Woo hoo.
• You just opened some cans, and a jar, and a box, and a package, and now you have yummy pasta.
• Enjoy.

BROCCOLI ALFREDO PASTA

Steps:

• Cook pasta according to package directions and drain.
• Meanwhile, steam broccoli until tender, but still crisp, about 5 minutes, and drain.
• In a large saucepan, melt butter over medium heat.
• Whisk in flour until smooth.
• Gradually whisk in milk.
• Bring to a boil, and cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened.
• Season with salt and pepper.
• Remove from heat and stir in the cheese and broccoli.
• Toss with the pasta to coat.

QUICK FETTUCCINE AND BROCCOLI ALFREDO

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add fettuccine and cook according to package directions until al dente, 8 to 11 minutes. While the pasta cooks, place a steamer basket over the pot and place the broccoli in the basket. Cover and steam until tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Set aside.
• Meanwhile, in a large saucepan or skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Grate the half clove of garlic with a rasp grater into the butter and cook, stirring, about 1 minute. Stir in the cream, milk, and salt and pepper to taste. Bring to a simmer. Stir in the Romano and Parmesan, stirring until melted; the sauce will thicken. Turn off the heat and set aside until the pasta is done.
• Drain the pasta, reserving about 1/2 cup of cooking liquid. Add the drained pasta to the cream sauce and stir until well coated. If the sauce seems too thick, stir in some of the reserved pasta cooking liquid to thin it until it coats the pasta well. Fold in the broccoli. Garnish with parsley and more Parmesan.
