Creamy Alfredo

My goodness. How many recipes must we sift through to find the best Alfredo sauce recipe? A lot. I have tried and tried and tried again--until I came across the perfect recipe for the often sought-after sauce. Here is the recipe for the whole dish that includes fresh spinach and plump cherry tomatoes!

Fresco Chicken Alfredo

Ingredients:

4 chicken breasts, seasoned, cooked, and cut up

1 box pasta, cooked

1/2 pound baby spinach

1 pint ripe baby tomatoes, halved

Sauce:

8 ounces cream cheese (NOT reduced fat)

1 1/2 cups milk

1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated

Salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste

Preparation for sauce:

Melt cream cheese in a large skillet. This will take several minutes. Be careful not to burn.

Gradually whisk in milk. Add Parmesan cheese and stir. Add spices and stir. Let sauce summer until it has thickened to desired texture. Add cooked pasta and coat evenly. Add spinach, tomatoes, and chicken. 

Goes great with garlic bread!!

The pasta can easily be converted to pasta primavera by adding al dente squash, carrots, and broccoli.
