This is, quite frankly, the best alfredo I’ve ever had in or out of a restaurant. I’ve made it so many times I almost know it by heart. I’ve made it with fettuccine, angel hair, and orecchiette pasta. I’ve made the sauce thinner and thicker with different spices and veggies. You really can’t go wrong with this recipe. It’s beautiful as is and is easy to add something new if you’re up to it. The trick (for me) to cooking the pasta fully with the amount of wet ingredients is to cook low and slow. But even if cooking with medium/high heat it’s fine. Just add some more broth and milk to the pan as needed. It really is the simplest one-pan meal ever and tastes great. Thanks for the recipe!

Had a great flavor.  I should have cooked the noodles in the sauce ,as stated, because it was too thin cooking separately, but my pot was too small.   Definitely make again.

Easy, tasty and delicious! Will do this again. It’s weird cooking the noodles in the milk but it worked! Will definitely make this again.

I made this tonight and things turned out absolutely perfect! I had four chicken breasts so I doubled the ingredients as well as eyeballed how much salt and pepper I wanted on my chicken. Long story short, this meal is a HIT with the fam! Next time I’m going to make it with shrimp 😋😋

I actually doubled the sauce ingredients, we like more sauce. I used 12oz of fettuccini and it was perfect! I did lower the amount of milk just a bit and added more cream instead.  Will definitely put this is my rotation!

Best chicken Alfredo pasta I have made.  I used cream instead of milk when cooking the pasta and it came out perfect.  Good idea to use good quality pasta and real parmesan cheese that you have to grate.  Makes a huge difference. My son's favorite meal.

WOW!!! VERY DELICIOUS. I added butter with the oil for my chicken. Everything was tender and full of flavor. My 5 year old said, "Mommy. This is the yummiest thing I've ever had!" So it's a HUGE win for me! Thank you!!!

Followed the recipe but doubled everything. It was amazing

Very easy and tasty! This was a hit with the kiddos. Thanks for sharing!
