Ricotta Fettuccine Alfredo with Broccoli

Step 1
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.

Step 2
Place broccoli in a steamer over 1 inch boiling water; cover. Cook until tender but still firm, 2 to 6 minutes. Drain.

Step 3
Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Gradually add milk, stirring with a whisk until blended. Cook, stirring constantly, until thick, about 15 minutes.

Step 4
Stir in ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper. Cook until cheese melts, about 5 minutes. Stir in steamed broccoli and cooked pasta. Sprinkle with parsley.
