Chicken Alfredo Pasta

Chicken Alfredo Pasta

In our family too, pasta is the star of any meal. Especially the children love it in any shape or combination. Recently, we have a new favorite recipe, very, very tasty - Alfredo pasta with chicken! It managed to dethrone the classic Pasta Carbonara, with a very delicious creamy sauce and the chicken which brings an extra taste and satiety.

Oftentimes, I'd rather prepare the Alfredo pasta recipe because this sauce is much simpler and faster to cook. Be sure to try and save the recipe, it's really worth it!
