Ingredients

  • 1 lb fettuccine pasta (I always go for the bronze-cut for that perfect bite)
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (sliced into strips for even cooking)
  • 1 jar (15 oz) Ragu Alfredo Sauce (because sometimes, convenience doesn’t compromise taste)
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream (for that extra richness)
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese (freshly grated melts like a dream)
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter (my kitchen staple for depth of flavor)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced (the more, the merrier, I say)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil (extra virgin is my hero)
  • Salt and pepper to taste (but be generous with the pepper)

Instructions

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the fettuccine and cook according to package instructions until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Tip: Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water before draining.
  2. While pasta cooks, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken strips, season with salt and pepper, and cook until golden and no longer pink, about 5-6 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Tip: Don’t let the garlic brown or it’ll turn bitter.
  4. Pour in the Ragu Alfredo Sauce and heavy cream, stirring to combine. Bring to a gentle simmer.
  5. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and the sauce is smooth. Tip: If the sauce is too thick, loosen it with a splash of reserved pasta water.
  6. Add the cooked fettuccine and chicken strips to the skillet, tossing until everything is evenly coated in the sauce.

Dig into this lusciously creamy Alfredo where the tender chicken and al dente pasta are the stars. Serve it with a sprinkle of extra Parmesan and a side of garlic bread for the ultimate comfort meal.

Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 1 lb fettuccine (I swear by De Cecco for that perfect al dente bite)
  • 2 cups heavy cream (go for the good stuff, it makes all the difference)
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan (freshly grated, please—no pre-shredded sadness)

  3. Lower heat to medium, add minced garlic and red pepper flakes, sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant. Tip: Keep stirring to prevent garlic from burning—it turns bitter fast.
  4. Pour in heavy cream, bring to a simmer, then reduce heat and let it thicken slightly, about 3 minutes.
  5. Stir in grated Parmesan until melted and smooth. If sauce is too thick, loosen with reserved pasta water a tablespoon at a time.

  4. Remove chicken from skillet and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Tip: Resting ensures juicy, tender slices.
  5. In the same skillet, pour in Ragu Alfredo sauce and heat over medium until warm, about 2 minutes. Stir in half the Parmesan cheese until melted.
  6. Drain pasta and add to the skillet, tossing to coat evenly. If needed, add reserved pasta water a tablespoon at a time to loosen the sauce.
  7. Slice chicken and serve over the pasta. Garnish with remaining Parmesan. Tip: A sprinkle of fresh parsley adds color and freshness.

Dig into this dish and savor the creamy Alfredo hugging each strand of pasta, with tender chicken stealing the show. Perfect for a cozy night in or impressing your gluten-free friends.

Ingredients

  • 2 large zucchinis, spiralized into zoodles (trust me, fresh is best)
  • 1 lb chicken breast, diced (I go for organic, free-range for that extra flavor)
  • 1 cup heavy cream (the richer, the better)
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese (plus extra for garnish, because why not?)
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter (I always use grass-fed for its creamy texture)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced (freshly minced makes all the difference)
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning (my secret weapon for that herby kick)
  • Salt and pepper to taste (but be generous, it’s key to layering flavors)

Instructions

  1. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and melt the butter until it’s just starting to bubble.
  2. Add the diced chicken to the skillet, seasoning with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Cook until the chicken is golden and no longer pink inside, about 6-8 minutes.
  3. Push the chicken to one side of the skillet and add the minced garlic to the other side. Sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant, then mix with the chicken.
  4. Pour in the heavy cream, stirring constantly to combine with the chicken and garlic. Let it simmer for 2 minutes to thicken slightly.
  5. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until the sauce is smooth and creamy. If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of water to loosen it up.
  6. Add the zoodles to the skillet, tossing gently to coat them in the sauce. Cook for just 2 minutes—zoodles should be al dente, not mushy.
  7. Remove from heat and serve immediately, garnished with extra Parmesan cheese.

Get ready to dive into a bowl of creamy, cheesy goodness with a satisfying crunch from the zoodles. Serve it up in a warm bowl for that extra cozy vibe, or top with a sprinkle of red pepper flakes for a spicy kick.

minutes

Ingredients

  • 8 oz fettuccine pasta (I always go for the whole wheat kind for that extra fiber kick)
  • 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil (my kitchen staple for that rich, fruity flavor)
  • 1 cup sliced mushrooms (cremini are my fave for their meaty texture)
  • 1 cup vegan chicken strips (thawed if frozen, for even cooking)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced (because fresh is best, no exceptions)
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (it’s creamy without overpowering the dish)
  • 1/2 cup nutritional yeast (for that cheesy, umami goodness)
  • 1/2 tsp salt (to bring all the flavors together)
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper (a little kick never hurt anybody)

Instructions

  1. Boil the fettuccine in a large pot of salted water for 8-10 minutes until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add mushrooms and sauté for 5 minutes until golden. Tip: Don’t overcrowd the pan to get that perfect sear.
  3. Add vegan chicken strips and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook for another 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  4. Pour in almond milk and sprinkle nutritional yeast, salt, and pepper. Stir well and let it simmer for 2 minutes until slightly thickened. Tip: Keep the heat medium-low to prevent the milk from separating.
  5. Toss the cooked pasta into the skillet, ensuring every strand is coated with the sauce. Cook for an additional minute. Tip: A splash of pasta water can loosen the sauce if it’s too thick.

The sauce clings to the pasta like a dream, with the mushrooms and vegan chicken adding layers of texture. Serve it with a sprinkle of red pepper flakes for a spicy twist or a side of garlic bread to soak up every last drop.

Buffalo Chicken Alfredo Ragu Pasta

Buffalo Chicken Alfredo Ragu Pasta

Let’s dive into a dish that’s a game-changer for pasta night—creamy, spicy, and utterly irresistible.

servings
Prep time

10

minutes
Cooking time

minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 lb fettuccine (the wider, the better for clinging to that sauce)
  • 2 cups shredded cooked chicken (leftover rotisserie chicken? Yes, please.)
  • 1/2 cup buffalo sauce (I swear by Frank’s RedHot for that perfect tangy kick)
  • 1 cup heavy cream (go for the good stuff—it makes all the difference)
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese (freshly grated melts like a dream)
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter (because everything’s better with butter)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced (fresh is best, no jarred stuff here)
  • Salt to taste (I like to start with 1/2 tsp and adjust from there)

Instructions

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the fettuccine and cook according to package instructions until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Tip: Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water before draining—it’s gold for adjusting sauce consistency.
  2. While the pasta cooks, melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds—don’t let it brown!
  3. Pour in the heavy cream and buffalo sauce, stirring to combine. Let the mixture simmer gently for 2-3 minutes to thicken slightly.
  4. Stir in the shredded chicken and Parmesan cheese until the cheese is melted and the chicken is heated through, about 2 minutes. Tip: If the sauce seems too thick, loosen it with a splash of the reserved pasta water.
  5. Add the drained pasta to the skillet, tossing to coat evenly in the sauce. Cook for another minute, allowing the pasta to soak up all that creamy goodness. Tip: A pair of tongs is your best friend here for easy tossing.

Now, the moment of truth—serve it up hot, maybe with an extra drizzle of buffalo sauce for the brave. The pasta? Silky, with just the right amount of heat. The chicken? Tender and flavorful. It’s a dish that’ll have everyone asking for seconds before the first bite is even finished.
