Chicken Zucchini Alfredo

zucchini

extra-virgin olive oil, divided

chicken breast

kosher salt

black pepper

Italian seasoning

garlic, finely minced

half-and-half (or whole milk)

cream cheese

c. Parmesan (plus more for serving)

c. fresh chopped parsley

I made this tonight. It was so delicious. Only i used two chicken breasts. And added a touch more half & half.  We loved the dish and it didnt even matter that there wasnt any pasta. I want to use zucchini in place of all my pasta dishes now.

Made this a few times now. Very good dish. If you use a spiralizer and the "noodles" seem to have a bit more body.

Delicious, made a half recipe just for me and it was perfect

So good , a great Keto recipe. Don’t even miss the noodles 🍝

Great and simple recipe, Will make again and again

I have never been one for noodle substitutions because they never tasted good to me in the past, but this is GREAT. The sauce is so flavorful and delicious that you can't even taste that it's zucchini instead of noodle (and I like zucchini, so it wouldn't be a problem for me if I could taste it). SO GOOD. I did 1 cup of half and half, 3/4 cup parmesan cheese, and 4 garlic cloves. I've never made a better sauce!

Cream Cheese Pasta

Spaghetti

Cream Cheese

tbsp Unsalted Butter

Garlic, (finely diced)

Salt & Black Pepper, (to taste)

Olive Oil, (for frying)

Cook spaghetti in salted boiling water until al dente. Right before draining, reserve a cup of starchy pasta water.

Meanwhile, in a pan heat a drizzle of olive oil over a medium heat and fry garlic and ham for a few minutes until lightly browned.

Melt in 2 tbsp butter, then add about 1/3 cup of starchy pasta water. Quickly whisk in a circular motion to create an emulsion and combine the starchy water with the butter. The water should go cloudy and thicken slightly.

Turn heat down slightly then stir in cream cheese and add parmesan. Season to taste then add spaghetti. Toss through the sauce, using your starchy water to thin out the sauce if needed. Serve with extra helpings of parmesan. Enjoy!

(160 grams) cream cheese*

(30 grams) grated parmesan,

Tbsp olive oil,

garlic

(120 ml) cooking water, plus more if needed

Quick and delicious cream cheese pasta with broccoli! Easy and customizable pasta recipe you can whip in less than 30 minutes! Check out how to make this creamy pasta recipe with step-wise pictures.

Easy Cream Cheese Pasta with Broccoli

pasta

water (divided)

tsp salt

broccoli head (small heads

oz cream cheese

tbsp honey mustard (optional)

tsp black pepper (or

tsp Trader Joe's 21 seasoning salute (refer notes)

milk (optional)

Add the broccoli florets to a bowl and 2 cups of boiling water. Cover the bowl, let it sit for 3 to 5 minutes, and drain the water.

Blanch the broccoli florets.

Cook the pasta as per the package instructions. For this Gemelli pasta, I used 7 cups of water with 2 tsps of salt. When the water comes to a rolling boil, add the pasta and cook until it is aldente. It took me approx 10 minutes.

Cook the pasta

Reserve 3/4 to 1 cup of pasta water and drain the remaining water. Immediately transfer the drained pasta to the sauce pot, place the cream cheese on top, and add the broccoli florets. Cover the sauce pot and let it sit for 5 minutes - no need to turn the heat on. This step is very important. Do not let the pasta cool. The cream cheese block softens quickly when the pasta is hot.

Drain the pasta and add cream cheese.

After five minutes, turn the heat on. Over medium-low heat, add the pasta water and mix the pasta and cheese nicely. The cream cheese will be soft, and you can mix it easily.

Add the honey mustard sauce, pepper, and the  21 seasoning salute or Italian seasoning. If needed, add the milk and mix well. I did not add any extra milk.

Mix well and serve hot immediately.

Add the condiments

Loved the easy of this recipe. I added chicken mushrooms and sundried tomatoes and every bowl was licked clean! No left overs for lunch unfortunately.

I adapted this for two, but it didn’t look much in the pan, so I threw some prawns in to bulk it up - masterstroke! Delicious.

Really delicious and I only used a spoonful of cream cheese, a little goes a long way!

This is the tastiest meal I have made in ages  - absolutely delicious and very easy. 5 stars!

Tried it today and it was really yummy, everyone indeed enjoyed it. Will add this to my regular quick and cheap recipe list

Absolutely gorgeous. I will definitely be doing this again 😊. Had lactose free Philly and gluten free pasta as dairy and gluten free but not allergic. Cooking this whole batch of recipes but with alternatives is slightly more money but worth every penny so far👍🏻

Made this for dinner today, so quick and easy, added spinach because I had some to use up. Clean plates all round. Kids loved it. Thank you

Just made this for the family and it was delicious 😋

So easy and tasty. Made it before and having just seen your IG stories it’s reminded me how easy and delish it is. Making it tonight!

Made this tonight… used chopped up spicy hot links and shrimp….. so good!!! Thank you for this super easy recipe!!!

I made This for dinner and it’s so good! I used Philadelphia garden vegetable cream cheese instead. It’s so creamy and tasty!

HI Sarah, 

I made this last night, it was fab, really enjoyed it. I might swop the cream cheese for creme fraiche the next time only because my kids are more used to that taste.

Sounds delicious, 😋 going to have this for dinner tonight....
