Chicken Zucchini Alfredo
Ingredients
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 zucchini, thinly sliced into half-moons
4 thin skinless, boneless chicken *bleep*
salt and pepper
12 ounces fettuccine
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 cup cold low-fat milk
1/2 cup evaporated nonfat milk ( or no fat half & half)
3/4 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
Directions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add 1 clove garlic and cook 30 seconds. Add the zucchini, cover and cook until tender, stirring, about 6 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.
Heat another tablespoon oil in the skillet over medium-high heat. Season the chicken with 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper and cook through, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate.
Cook the pasta in the boiling water as the label directs. Drain, reserving 1/2 cup cooking water; return the pasta to the pot.
Meanwhile, whisk the flour and low-fat milk in a bowl. Place the remaining 1 clove garlic and 1 tablespoon oil in the skillet and cook over medium-high heat, 30 seconds. Add the flour-milk mixture and bring to a boil, stirring. Reduce the heat to low and cook, stirring, 2 minutes. Add the evaporated milk, 1/2 teaspoon salt and the cheese; stir to melt, 1 minute.
Cut the chicken into strips. Toss with the pasta, sauce, zucchini and parsley, adding the reserved pasta water to loosen.

This looks excellent and is guaranteed to impress the heck out of my girlfriend if I make it for her. I mean seriously, what is more attractive than a guy who can cook? Haha

I made it and it was good.
Well it was great.
And here is a good one my roomie made last night.
Ground turkey mushrooms fresh spinach leaves.
all fresh nothing from a can ingrediants.
then your choice a few more ingrediants as the point of this way of cooking is to pull out all the nutrition from the ingrediants while cooking it all together on low to medium.
cook the ground turkey first alone with your fav seasoning for 10 min first
then add fresh spinach and other fresh veg and continue cooking on low with your fresh veg ingrediants for 10 min.
then when done add your spagetti in the form of bows that is already cooked and rinsed to it and cook on low another 10 min
then top with your fav cheese
its a great turkey pasta meal and a full meal for ya in just 30 min.
of course if making it for more than 4 and you got more than a half pound of meat then make it 20 min on the first low to med cook of the meat.
have fun with it, it is good.
if liking horseradish fresh its great but must save it for your own serving as most wont like it that way. :BangHead: and it will cause some head banging
cause horse radish is good for you like brussel sprouts and kale but some people dont like that and if you dont like it then you just dont have a pleasing taste of it so be careful before adding something great like horseradish when your feeding lots.
let that be something you add to your own.
