Veg & Chicken Alfredo Pasta

Who doesn’t love creamy pasta dunked in a rich silky white alfredo sauce? This is so creamy and dreamy with very simple steps. I already have one fettuccine alfredo recipe on the blog and many tried and loved it. This recipe is with the addition of some veggies in it, which makes it so healthy for kids! But for we adults, u know obviously some extra calories but the taste is heaven for sure!

I know nowadays everyone is getting so health-conscious, that all these kinds of food are like a nightmare ryt? But you can treat yourself and kids once in a while! Also if you are following LCHF (Keto)diet you can make this alfredo sauce and dig in without adding pasta! So this recipe is one of our family favorites which was introduced to us by my aunt ShabuAmmayi. Only after making it i realized that similar recipe is there on the blog, but still, I want to post this coz this is so yum and the recipe has some slight changes in it with her touch. If there is any potluck party we want her to take this one! Thank you for this delicious recipe.

Clicking a pasta is quite challenging because it tends to dry out very fast and I don’t like to see that dry pasta. As we are adding cream and cheese to the sauce it will dry out soon. So before serving you need to loosen it by adding some milk or water and reheat it. Or else prepare both the sauce and pasta and mix it just before serving and then you’ll get restaurant style hot and silky pasta.
