This is a great recipe that is quick and easy to follow and make. It is similar to chicken Alfredo fettuccine, but it uses tortellini. I also love the addition of the broccoli. My family actually likes this too, which is great because they are so picky. I definitely recommend this to anyone who likes pasta.

My wife and I enjoyed this as dinner. I used spinach instead of broccoli and vegetable tortellini.

It doesn't take much extra time to cook the chicken dice it measure pack and freeze ahead of time The same can be said for making Alfredo with is one of the simplest sauces You start by making a Roux equal parts butter and flour melt TBSP Butter and add TBSP Flour stir until it becomes a thick paste add cups of milk clove of garlic diced and cup of grated parmesan cheese stir and heat until sauce thickens The recipe is easy enough to double triple etc The nice thing is no strange chemical ingredients to make it last longer not separate etc There really isn't a good tasteful way to make alfredo using non-dairy ingredients You can make it more low fat by using skim milk and low-fat cheese but don't swap out the butter or you'll add trans-fats and other processing chemicals that aren't good tasting nor good…Read More for you

Actually, douglaspavey, your recipe is for white sauce with garlic and parm cheese. Alfredo is butter, half and half, and parm cheese, warmed until cheese is melted and put over the pasta. If you want garlic, saute it in the butter before adding the half/half an cheese.

Thanks! I always thought alfredo sauce had sour cream in it. It seems that sour cream breaks too easily in cooking and I don't carefor the little curdles in the sauce. I want it creamy, so I prefer creme fraiche, but it is kind of pricey.

This is a wonderful pasta-chix recipe; keep the ingredients on hand all the time.
