Creamy Broccoli and Chicken Penne

Creamy Broccoli and Chicken Penne

Chicken, broccoli, and penne are coated in a Parmesan cream sauce for this skillet meal. The broccoli should be tender enough to eat while retaining some structure, and the chicken must be cooked through before the pasta is served. Cutting both into consistent pieces makes those goals easier to coordinate.

Creamy Cajun Shrimp and Scallop Alfredo

Creamy Cajun Shrimp and Scallop Alfredo

Shrimp and scallops share a cream-and-Parmesan sauce with fettuccine in this Cajun-style pasta. The seafood cooks first and returns only at the end, which helps prevent it from simmering through the entire sauce-making stage. Shrimp and scallops do not always finish together, so remove each as it becomes opaque rather than treating them as identical pieces.
