Food makes everything just perfect, and if you’re wondering that what new to try in these quarantine days, we’re here to add some spice in your life.

Hello people! We’ve brought to you some delicious and healthy food recipes that seem tough to make but are damn easy and requires minimum ingredients to get prepared.

Today I’ll be sharing my top 5 favourite restaurant-style recipes which you can try at home.

1. Alfredo Pasta :

The first and most favourite of all time is Alfredo Pasta, one from Italian cuisine. You don’t mess with Italian food and that’s a rule. They are as simple and easy as possible.

So, the list of ingredients required to prepare Alfredo pasta is:

Pasta – 250g

Butter- 50g

Salt and pepper to taste

Garlic – 4-5 cloves

Milk – 300 ml

Shallots – 1 no.

Method :

Boil a large pot of water to cook the pasta. Once boiling, add the pasta and cook until soft. Drain the pasta in a colander.

While the pasta is cooking, prepare the sauce. Add the butter and minced garlic to a pot and sauté over medium heat for 1-2 minutes until the garlic is soft and fragrant, but not brown.

Turn the heat down to medium-low. Add the milk to the pot along with the cheese (cut into chunks) and a whole shallot. Heat while whisking until the cheese is fully melted into the milk and the sauce starts to simmer. When it reaches a simmer, the sauce will thicken.

Turn the heat down to low to keep the sauce warm. Season the sauce with 1/4 tsp salt and some pepper.

Add the vegetable of your choice to the sauce and stir it in until it has become soft.

Finally, add the cooked and drained pasta to the sauce and stir to combine. Serve immediately.

And here is your delicious mouth-watering snack is ready!
