Cook for approximately 3 minutes over medium heat, then reduce heat to low and simmer for an additional 5 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender-crisp and heated through. If the sauce becomes too thick, add a splash of the reserved pasta water to reach your desired consistency. (8 minutes)

Recipe View Serve the Chicken Alfredo immediately over the drained fettuccine pasta. Garnish with freshly grated Parmesan cheese and a sprinkle of black pepper, if desired. Enjoy! (2 minutes)

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of nutmeg to the Alfredo sauce.
If you don't have fettuccine, linguine or spaghetti work well as substitutes.
Feel free to experiment with other vegetables such as mushrooms, spinach, or asparagus.
Ensure the cream cheese is softened before melting for a smoother sauce.
Adjust the amount of milk to achieve your preferred sauce consistency.
