Fettucini (Fettuccine) Alfredo with Chicken - NoRecipeRequired.com

heavy cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: milk + cornstarch

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

Parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: Nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: Pecorino Romano

Nutritional yeast is dairy-free and adds a cheesy flavor

Boil salted water and drop in enough fettuccine for two people.

Stir the pasta occasionally while it cooks.

In a separate pan, reduce half a pint of heavy cream over medium heat until it thickens slightly, scraping the sides occasionally to prevent burning.

Once the cream has reduced by about 1/3, add 1/3 cup of grated parmesan cheese and a good number of crunches of black pepper, stirring to combine.

Add the cooked fettuccine directly from the water into the sauce, tossing to combine and adjust the consistency.

Finish with a pat of butter and an optional egg yolk for flavor and color, tossing to mix well.

Taste the sauce and adjust with more salt and pepper as needed.

Add in grilled chicken and diced scallion, tossing to heat through.

If the sauce is too thick, add a little more milk to reach the desired consistency.

Plate the fettuccine alfredo, garnishing with extra scallion and parmesan cheese.
