Today a friend emailed me to ask if I could put up a couple of pasta dishes. I put on Nonnie's Lasagna today and now I want to add my mom's Chicken Alfredo over fettucini.


Chicken Alfredo over fettucini:


2 boneless chicken breasts
2 cups water
Kosher salt
1 small onion in quarters

Cut the boneless chicken breast into strips, place in small pot add water, salt and onion bring to a boil and boil for about 10 minutes. Remove chicken, run through a small holed colander.

Fettucini Noodles: 

2 packages noodles
6 cups of water
Kosher salt

Put the water into a pasta pot with the salt bring to a boil. Add the noodles and bring to a boil again. Cook for about 8-10 minutes until tender. Drain immediately and serve with Chicken Alfredo.

Alfredo Sauce: 

2 tbsp butter
2 cloves of crushed garlic
1/2 tsp ground pepper
1 tsp Kosher salt
1/4 cup flour
2 cups of chicken broth - use a can or use the broth from cooking the chicken
1/4 cup cream
Fresh Basil - chopped

Melt 2 tbsp butter in a sauce pan add garlic, pepper, salt when completely melted add flour. Stir about 30 seconds that then add broth. Bring to a boil to thicken then add cream and gently stir for another minute. Now add the cooked chicken strips to the sauce. Stir another minute and then serve over noodles. Add about a tbsp of fresh basil to each serving dish.
