Here at the Forbes house we get strong cravings for pasta from time to time, so I try not to fight it and just go with it. Yesterday thoughts of a creamy, dreamy Alfredo sauce kept invading my brain so last night I came up this mighty tasty pea and chicken pasta dish. I sincerely hope that you will enjoy it as much as we did. It is finger licking good!
8 oz. fettucini pasta
10 oz. frozen green peas
1 large boneless, skinless chicken breast, pan-fried in Amish butter and cut in chunks
1 (28 oz.) jar light or regular Alfredo sauce
Bring a large heavy stockpot full of salted water to a rolling boil over high heat. Break the fettucini in half and add to boiling water one half at a time. Never add pasta all at one time to the water, you always want your water to remain at the boiling point. Set your timer to 5 minutes and when it goes off add the frozen peas and continue cooking for 4 minutes~no more. Drain in a colander, return to pot and add jar of Alfredo sauce and the chicken.
Serve with cheese and garlic biscuits and a green salad.
Serves 4 happy campers

I love alfredo sauce, a bit too much probably :) Looks great!
ReplyDeleteim not a fan of peas but your dish looks super delish!
ReplyDeleteI was hoping for a real recipe, not a cheater's one. :\ You could have at least seasoned your own sauce to give it some personal flair.
