Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 6 servings

  • 1 pound fresh mushrooms, sliced

  • 1 green bell pepper, diced

  • 2 tablespoons butter

  • 1 pound fettuccini pasta

  • ½ large head broccoli, cut into florets

  • ¾ cup butter, divided

  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese

  • ½ teaspoon dried oregano

  • ½ teaspoon dried parsley

  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder

  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour

  • 1 pint heavy cream

  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can chicken broth

  • 2 (6.5 ounce) cans minced clams, drained

Directions

  1. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook mushrooms and bell pepper in 2 tablespoons butter until tender. Remove from heat and set aside.

  2. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente; drain. Steam broccoli in colander over pasta water, or in steamer, until bright green, 5 to 10 minutes.

  3. Toss cooked pasta with 1/4 cup butter, Parmesan, oregano, parsley, garlic powder and black pepper. Cover and set aside to keep warm.

  4. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt 1/2 cup butter. Dump in flour all at once and whisk until smooth. Whisk in cream and chicken broth a little at a time and cook until mixture thickens. Stir in clams and reserved broccoli, mushrooms and bell pepper. Heat through and toss with pasta. Serve at once.
