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 your fork up over the plate to get the last bits of Alfredo… we aren't judging.

Customize It Instructions

  • Meatlovers! If using protein, cook in a medium non-stick pan over medium heat with 1 tsp. olive oil. If using whole chicken breasts, pat dry, and on a separate cutting board, cut into 1” dice. Stir occasionally until chicken reaches minimum internal temperature, 5-7 minutes. If using diced chicken breasts, pat dry and stir occasionally until chicken reaches minimum internal temperature, 5-7 minutes. If using Impossible burger, break up until burger reaches a minimum internal temperature of 160 degrees, 4-6 minutes. If using shrimp, pat dry and cook until shrimp reach minimum internal temperature, 2-3 minutes per side. Add to rigatoni as desired.

  1. 1

    Cook the Pasta

    Once water is boiling, add pasta and cook until al dente, 11-13 minutes.

    Remove from burner. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta cooking water. Drain pasta in a colander and set aside.

    While pasta cooks, continue recipe.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Cut broccoli into bite-sized pieces.

    Coarsely crush crackers.

    In a mixing bowl, combine crackers and half the Parmesan (reserve remaining for sauce). Set aside.

  3. 3

    Cook the Broccoli

    Place a large non-stick pan over medium heat and add 1 Tbsp. olive oil.

    Add broccoli and a pinch of salt and pepper to hot pan and stir occasionally until tender, 5-7 minutes.

  4. 4

    Make the Sauce

    Add cream base, 1/4 cup reserved pasta cooking water, cream cheese, garlic salt, and remaining Parmesan to hot pan. Bring to a simmer.

    Once simmering, stir constantly until sauce thickens, 2-3 minutes.

    Add red peppers and pasta. Stir occasionally until sauce coats pasta, 30-60 seconds.

    If too thick, add additional pasta cooking water, 1 Tbsp. at a time, until desired consistency is reached.

    Remove from burner and stir in red pepper flakes (to taste).
