Creamy Clam Fettuccini
Ingredients
  • 1 pound fresh mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 green bell pepper, diced
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 pound fettuccini pasta
  • 1/2 large head broccoli, cut into florets
  • 3/4 cup butter, divided
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 pint heavy cream
  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can chicken broth
  • 2 (6.5 ounce) cans minced clams, drained
Instructions
1
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and sauté the mushrooms and bell pepper in 2 tablespoons of melted butter until they become tender.
2
Transfer the skillet contents to a separate surface and set it aside momentarily.
3
Boil a large pot of water that has been lightly seasoned with salt until it reaches a rolling boil.
4
Submerge pasta into the boiling water and cook for 8 to 10 minutes, or until it reaches an al dente texture; drain the water.
5
Steam broccoli in a colander that is placed over the pasta water, or in a separate steamer device, until it turns bright green and reaches your desired level of doneness, approximately 5 to 10 minutes.
6
Combine cooked pasta with 1/4 cup of melted butter, Parmesan cheese, dried oregano, chopped parsley, garlic powder, and black pepper. Cover the mixture with a lid and set it aside to maintain its warmth.
7
In a medium-sized saucepan, heat 1/2 cup of butter over medium heat.
8
Immediately add a large amount of flour into the saucepan and whisk it until a smooth consistency is achieved.
9
Gradually add cream and chicken broth to the saucepan, whisking continuously until the mixture thickens.
10
Introduce clams and the previously reserved broccoli, mushrooms, and bell pepper into the saucepan. Stir well to combine.
11
Combine the cooked pasta with the creamy clam mixture and serve immediately.
