Fettuccine Alfredo actually is from Italy, but it’s not popular and hard to find. It’s way more common in North America. Simple dishes taste better with quality ingredients, but it’s still tasty on the cheap.

Ingredients

• Salt (for water and seasoning)
• 1 lb pasta
• 2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 2 tbsp Italian seasoning
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tbsp olive/canola oil OR butter
• 1/4 cup butter
• 1 1/2 cups grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 1/4 cups whipping cream
• 3 tbsp fresh parsley OR oregano OR basil

Method

1. Boil a big pot of salted water.
2. Cook pasta. Once done, drain (reserving some pasta water) and return to the pot.
3. Cut chicken into bite sized pieces and then toss with Italian seasoning and garlic powder.
4. Cook chicken in oil or butter until cooked through and browned.
5. Heat butter in a small pot over medium low heat.
6. Add cream and cheese, bring to a boil while stirring continuously.
7. Turn down heat and simmer for 10 minutes until thickened.
8. If sauce is too thin, add more cheese. If it’s too thick, add some pasta water a little at a time.
9. Add parsley or oregano or basil.
10. Pour sauce over the pasta, add the chicken, and stir to combine.
11. Serve and garnish with extra cheese and herbs if you want to be fancy.
