I do not have parmesan cheese, could I use Mexican blend?
Hey Shriya, Parmesan makes the sauce creamy and thick. While Mexican cheese would be more cheesy. You can use it and maybe sprinkle some on top of the dish and bake it. It will make a good dish that way.
Got it! Thanks!
U don't have to cook broccoli prior to throwing it into pasta ??? How does it cook in the pasta? I like broccoli tender so should I like steam it or sauté first ?
I don't cook it prior to pasta because broccoli cooks very quick. It. Can become mushy so it's better to cook it with the pasta sauce.
so is it heavy whipping cream or a regular one? and does it matter, i have heavy whipping cream on hand. and do you think mexican blend cheese will work?
Heavy whipping cream would work. You don't have to add cheese if you don't have Parmesan, it's more for a flavor. But if you still want to add cheese, add just a little so it still stays creamy.
this looks very good!! will sure give it a try!!! mmm, cant wait! n it looks pretty healthy too!
Thank you! It is very creamy and kinda healthy. Our family loved this dish. Keep me posted on how you like it 🙂
whipped cream or heavy liquid cream?
In a liquid form.
