Alfredo pasta

This is my favourite and is loaded in calories. But is absolutely yuuuum. Lip smacking.

And as I am not going to make it for a loooong time now I won't be able to put up any pic here. :(

Ingredients:

250 g dry pasta
water in a ratio of 3:1 with pasta
3/4 packet of fresh cream (the small pack :D)
50 g butter
3 cheese cubes grated
1/2 cup milk
2 tsp garlic powder
2 tsp oregano
2 tsp pepper powder
Salt to taste
Veggies of your choice: I usually use 4 small sized capsicums cut lengthwise. Other occasions I add some mushrooms cut in quaters.
You may intead add small pieces of chicken (but I haven't tried this yet)

Just listing the ingredients has made my mouth water!


Method:

In a large pot bring salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook it for 15 minutes until it softens and expands. Then drain out the water.

In a large kadhai melt the butter.

Add the fresh cream slowly over a reduced flame.

Add the grated cheese in small portions.

Keep stirring all the while so that the sauce becomes smooth.

Stir in the milk and season with garlic powder, oregano, pepper and salt.

Simmer over low flame for 2-3 min till the sauce thickens.

Stir constantly.

Mix in the veggies/chicken and cook till they turn tender.

Put the pasta and mix well.

Cook for 3 min.

And voila!! Alfredo pasta is ready to be served!!
