Mom's Rotini Alfredo

Here's our latest love and it just so happened while cleaning out the refrigerator one evening ;-)

Broccoli coarsely chopped
Red or orange pepper chopped
Fresh mushrooms sliced
1-2 cloves garlic pressed
Tblsp olive oil or butter
1 can chicken broth
8 oz. cream cheese
Approx. 1 cup milk or cream (feel free to add more liquid if necessary, it will soak up in the oven)
1 16 oz. box of rotini noodles boiled and drained (or substitute whatever type of noodle you have on hand)
Mozarella cheese if desired
Parmesan cheese if desired


Saute broccoli, pepper, mushrooms, and garlic in oil or butter.  Add chicken broth, cream cheese, milk or cream.  Heat until cheese is melted and well blended.  Add noodles and mozerella.  Cover and bake at 375-degrees for approx. 20 minutes.  Remove and top with parmesan before serving. May season with salt and pepper if desired.  

Toss a salad...add some garlic bread and voila....supper is served.  Enjoy!!
