Chicken Pasta Alfredo Recipe

A couple of months ago I made some chicken pasta alfredo, and everyone loved it so much that it has been requested several times. In fact, it is what I am fixing for supper tonight.

I based the recipe off of one I found at Budget Savvy Diva, but I made enough changes that I feel like I can call it my own.

I am definitely not an Italian cooking aficionado, but this meal was a crowd pleaser and that is good enough for me. :)

Chicken Pasta Alfredo

Ingredients

  • 1 (12 ounce) Box Bow Tie Pasta
  • Water (to cook pasta)
  • 6 Tbsp. Butter
  • 2 Cloves Garlic (Minced)
  • 1 3/4 Cups Milk
  • 1 Cup Parmesan Cheese
  • 2 tsp. Salt
  • 1/2 tsp. Pepper
  • 1-2 Cups Shredded Chicken

Instructions

  1. Cook pasta according to package directions.
  2. In another pan melt the butter.
  3. Add the garlic to the melted butter and sauté for 2-3 minutes.
  4. Whisk in the milk, salt, and pepper.
  5. Add the cheese.
  6. Stir frequently until the cheese has melted and sauce is almost boiling.
  7. Remove sauce from heat.
  8. Drain the pasta and add the shredded chicken.
  9. Pour the alfredo sauce over the pasta and chicken.
  10. Let stand for a few minutes and then serve.

Notes

My family enjoyed the bow tie pasta, but any pasta could be used.

If you don't have any minced garlic you can substitute 1/4 tsp. of garlic powder.

This recipe could be made using gluten-free pasta.

      Thanks, Bonnie! It is a little runny at first, but that is why I said to let it sit for a few minutes. Also, I am going to have to double this recipe next time. Even though Joshua can’t eat it, 6 of us devoured the recipe and would have eaten more. :)
