Total Time: 30 mins Cook Time: 30 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 8
• 1 red onion, chopped
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1 bunch broccoli floret
• 1/2 cup butter
• 1 pint heavy whipping cream
• 1 1/2 cups milk
• 8 ounces parmesan cheese
• 3 egg whites
• 1 teaspoon cornstarch, if egg whites don't thicken it enough (optional)
• 1 tablespoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons dried parsley
• 1 lb pasta

Recipe

• 1 saute onion until translucent, add sugar and cook until slightly brown. drain and set aside.
• 2 steam broccoli while onion is cooking. drain and set aside.
• 3 melt butter over medium heat, making sure not to brown it at all.
• 4 add 1/2 cheese and stir until completely smooth.
• 5 add whipping cream and milk, bring almost to a boil.
• 6 add pepper and parsley.
• 7 add remaining cheese and egg whites. stir until completely smooth and melted (should no longer appear grainy). this may take a little while, but you will know when it's happened because sauce will begin to look fluffy.
• 8 if it's not thick enough combine cornstarch with a little bit of milk and add.
• 9 once the sauce is thick enough for you (and it will continue to thicken as it sits) stir in the onions and steamed broccoli, serve over your favorite pasta.
