🔪 Instructions

Step 1: Cook the Pasta and Broccoli

1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
2. Add fettuccine noodles and cook according to package instructions until al dente.
3. During the last 2 minutes of boiling, add broccoli florets to the same pot.
4. Drain both pasta and broccoli, reserving ½ cup of the pasta water. Set aside.

Step 2: Cook the Chicken

1. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
2. Season chicken with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
3. Add to the skillet and cook for 4–5 minutes per side, until golden and cooked through.
4. Remove from the pan and set aside on a plate.

Step 3: Make the Alfredo Sauce

1. In the same skillet, melt 3 tablespoons butter over medium heat.
2. Add minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
3. Pour in heavy cream and milk, stirring constantly.
4. Simmer for 2–3 minutes, then whisk in Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth.
5. Season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg (if using).

Step 4: Combine Everything

1. Add cooked chicken, broccoli, and fettuccine to the skillet with the sauce.
2. Toss everything together over low heat until well coated.
3. If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of reserved pasta water for a silky texture.

Step 5: Serve

1. Plate the creamy pasta and top with extra Parmesan and chopped parsley.
2. Serve immediately while hot.

💡 Chef’s Tips

• Use freshly grated Parmesan — it melts smoother than pre-shredded cheese.
• For extra richness, stir in 1 tablespoon of cream cheese while making the sauce.
• Add a pinch of red pepper flakes if you like a little heat.
• Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days — reheat gently with a splash of milk or cream.

🍷 Perfect Pairings

• Drink: A glass of Chardonnay or sparkling lemon water.
• Side: Garlic bread or a simple green salad.
