This simple and creamy pasta dish is easy to make, so it's perfect for busy weeknight dinners, or when you feel in need of some satisfying comfort food.
You could try this with any combination of fresh soft herbs and spring vegetables you might have. This recipe uses tagliatelle, but any pasta you already have would work just as well.
Place the mangetout, broccoli, asparagus, broad beans and spring onions in a steamer and cook for 5 minutes, until just starting to cook but still firm.
Remove and refresh the vegetables in chilled water, drain and leave to dry. Mix in the thinly sliced red onions.
Place a pan over a medium heat and add the butter and garlic. Leave to sauté gently for 3–5 minutes or until the garlic is softening and colouring lightly. The butter should have started to darken slightly.
Stir in the double cream and the milk and bring to the boil, reduce to a simmer and add the grated Cheddar cheese, parsley and oregano.
Simmer for around 5–10 minutes, stirring frequently, or until the cheese has melted and the sauce is slightly thickened. Season to taste.
Place a pan of salted water on a high heat and bring to the boil. Add the pasta and cook for 10–12 minutes until al dente, then drain.
Add the cooked pasta and vegetables into the Alfredo sauce and cook on a low heat for 2–3 minutes, stirring until combined and warmed through.
Place the pasta and sauce into bowls and top with the remaining grated cheese and fresh basil.
