Tomato has its place, and vodka is always welcome in our pastas and shot glasses, but for our money, nothing makes pasta sing like Alfie here. Rich and warm, it bathes the veggies and pasta here with pure flavor. And if you need to dredge you fork up over the plate to get the last bits of Alfredo… we aren't judging.

Meatlovers! If using protein, cook at the beginning of Step 3 before broccoli, in a large non-stick pan over medium heat. If using steak strips, separate into a single layer and pat dry. Season with ¼ tsp. salt and a pinch of pepper. Cook with 1 tsp. olive oil, stirring occasionally until no pink remains and steak reaches a minimum internal temperature of 145 degrees, 4-6 minutes. Cook with 1 tsp. olive oil until seared on one side, 2-3 minutes. Flip, and cook until shrimp reaches minimum internal temperature, 1-2 minutes. Remove to a plate and continue with broccoli. If using diced chicken, pat dry and season with 1/4 tsp. salt and a pinch of pepper. Cook with 1 tsp. olive oil, stirring occasionally until chicken reaches minimum internal temperature, 5-7 minutes. Remove cooked proteins to a plate and continue with broccoli.
