Smoked Chicken and Prosciutto Fettuccine Alfredo

By now you all know that I absolutely love homemade pasta, in fact, I'm always raving about it. The taste and texture are like nothing you'll find in a store. Homemade pasta makes any ordinary pasta dish seem like something you would order and enjoy in your favorite Italian restaurant.



Homemade pasta plus a super simple Alfredo sauce makes this dish rich, creamy, and a delight on the taste buds.

Smoked Chicken and Prosciutto Fettuccine Alfredo


Serves 4

1 Recipe Homemade egg pasta, cut into fettuccine (store brought is fine too!)
300 g (10 oz) smoked chicken breast, cut into cubes
50 g (2 oz) Prosciutto, chopped
1 onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, crushed
350 mL light cream
3/4 Cup finely grated Parmesan
1/4 Cup grated Edam cheese
1 tsp ground nutmeg
salt and pepper to taste

1. Make the pasta according to the recipe instructions.

2.  Place a medium saucepan over a medium-low heat. Add the cream, garlic, cheese, and nutmeg, stir well to combine and melt the cheese through. Continue to stir until just starting to bubble. Season to taste.

3. Pour the sauce over cooked and drained fettuccine and toss to coat the pasta. Serve immediately.
