Try other pasta shapes instead of fettuccine.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 4-5 days.
Recipe FAQs
The cream cheese in this recipe makes it extra special. If you want to add even more flavor or spice, add Red pepper flakes, cayenne pepper, Italian seasoning, dried oregano, dried thyme, onion powder, or white pepper.
Yes, you can add it during step 8 at the same time as the broccoli.

John B. – Tried this recipe tonight and it’s a “winner”.
Thank you for giving us another super-easy and tasty dinner. We are learning to eat for two without all of the leftovers, no matter how good.
Mindy – I have found myself on your blog a lot since the kids have moved out and I am cooking for just my husband and myself. This was one of our favorites, so far!

Loved the ease and portion size of the meal. I used Italian seasoning and garlic powder rather than the jarred garlic. I used frozen broccoli that I steamed and added at the end of the prep. We will be making this again!
