Rigatoni with Alfredo Sauce

Mum!! Can we have pasta tonight??!!

Does this ring a bell? Well … yeah!!! I have this question almost every evening!! Even though I try  to keep a good balance in what I cook for my children, I won’t lie, I’m weak … Pastas are delicious!!

It’s “too good”!! As my “mini me” would say… So today we’ll have rigatoni with Alfredo sauce.

The Alfredo sauce is a smooth Italian sauce, quite fat I admit, but so good…

You will need butter, cream, Parmesan cheese and garlic. But I don’t cook it with butter, cream seems enough to me…

I always buy Rigatoni from Barilla. Of course, you can cook this recipe with almost any variety of pastas (I like also the De Cecco pastas…).

For the rest, it’s always the same story as far as I’m concerned: I open my fridge and see what’s inside!! Here it will be zucchini and raw ham. Previously, I cooked it with chick peas and tuna… A delight!!

Viva la pasta !! The recipe, Chef!
