Pasta Alfredo with Grilled Vegetables

Fettuccine Alfredo
from the Simply Recipes website

4 tablespoons/60 grams butter
2/3 cup grated parmesan
500 grams fettuccine (all I had was spaghetti but it still counts)
Cracked black pepper & salt

Cook the pasta according to the packet directions. When it is done, drain it and quickly add the butter and the cheese. Mix it all around really good until the butter and cheese have melted together to coat all of the pasta.

Season the pasta with salt and pepper, divide it into 4 servings (or otherwise depending on how much pasta you cook) and sprinkle some more parmesan over the top.

Garlic Butter Vegetables

1 courgette
1 head brocolli
1 bunch asparagus
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon butter
2 cloves crushed garlic

First of all, prepare the vegetables by slicing the courgette thinly lengthwise, cutting the brocolli into small florets and cutting the hard end off of the asparagus. If your asparagus is quite large you might want to slice it up a bit as well.

In a large frying pan heat the olive oil and butter. Add the garlic and let it cook for just a couple of minutes. Then add the vegetables and cook them, stirring, until everything is done to your liking. Season with salt and pepper if you like.
