Pasta Alfredo Grilled Chicken and Vegetables

"I use a good Durham Penne Pasta, but any cut pasta will work. This dish is one of my favorites and can easily be increased for larger crowds. I use a vegetable blend that includes yellow and orange carrots, red peppers, and green beans, but it can be substituted to your taste. I also use wheat flour instead of white."

  • Cook pasta according to directions. While the pasta is cooking make the Alfredo sauce in a medium saucepan by melting the 2 Tablespoons of butter, and whisking in the flour to make a roux. Then slowly add the cream, grated cheese and garlic powder. Simmer over low heat stirring occasionally, making sure to scrape the edges of the pan, until sauce is thick and heated through.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I grew up in New Jersey with an Italian mother, and Ukranian father. Needless to say I developed a love for a wide variety of foods! I love the Polish Ukranian influence my paternal side brought forth, as well as the traditional Italian cuisine from my mother's side of the family. For me, I have a passion for chocolate and desserts! I always use real butter, rich cream, sugar, and real vanilla, but I understand why we substitute them, and believe all of my recipes fare well with the substitutions, if you choose to do so. I only use salt in my potatoes, so don't expect to see too much of it in any of my recipes!Every recipe I publish has been time tested, and tasted, and raved about! So I guarantee, you'll be happy with every one you try! Thanks for visiting! I hope you come back again!
