This Baked Fettuccine Alfredo is rich, creamy, and pure comfort food. Pasta is tossed in a homemade Alfredo sauce, with chicken, topped with cheese, and baked until bubbly and golden.
Heat a large pot of water to boil, and cook pasta 2 minutes shorter than the package directions. Drain and set aside.
8 oz dried pasta
In a small saucepan melt butter. Add garlic and cook for 3-4 minutes over medium heat until soft.
3 Tablespoons butter, 1 clove garlic
Stir in the heavy cream and simmer for 5 minutes, do not bring to a boil.
1 cup heavy cream
Stir in Parmesan cheese and season with salt and pepper. Stir until the cheese is fully melted and the sauce has thickened.
3/4 cup Parmesan cheese, Salt & Pepper
In a bowl toss together cooked pasta, chicken, alfredo sauce and 1/2 cup of Mozzarella cheese. Mix to combine.
2 cups chicken, 1 cup shredded Mozzarella cheese
Pour the pasta into an 8 inch square casserole dish. Top with the remaining 1/2 cup of cheese. Bake for about 20 minutes until it is hot, bubbly and the cheese is melted.
Notes
Can use a jar of alfredo sauce instead of making your own.
