Making Chicken Alfredo Pasta is straightforward if you follow these simple steps:
1. Cook the Pasta: In a large pot, boil salted water and cook fettuccine according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
2. Sauté Garlic: In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
3. Add Cream: Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Allow it to cook for 3-4 minutes until slightly thickened.
4. Incorporate Cheese: Gradually stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, mixing until the sauce is smooth. If it’s too thick, add a bit of pasta water to reach desired consistency.
5. Combine Chicken: Add the diced cooked chicken to the sauce, mixing until well coated and heated through.
6. Season: Taste and season with salt and pepper as needed, adjusting to your personal preference.
7. Combine Pasta: Add the cooked fettuccine to the skillet, tossing until the pasta is well-coated with the Alfredo sauce.
