ingredients
6 ounces fettuccine pasta or medium egg noodles
3 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
2 1/4 cups milk
2 1/4 cups chopped, cooked chicken or turkey
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, for sauce
1 package (10 ounce size) frozen broccoli, thawed and drained
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, for topping
directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 2-quart baking dish.
Cook the pasta as directed on the package. Drain and set aside.
Meanwhile, in a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the flour, while stirring, and continue to stir until smooth. Stir in the dried basil, salt, and pepper.
Stir in the milk and continue to cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sauce is thick and bubbly.
Remove the pan from the heat. Stir in the cooked chicken, half cup of Parmesan cheese, and thawed broccoli.
Stir the pasta into the chicken sauce and mix well to coat the pasta with the sauce.
Transfer the chicken and pasta mixture to the prepared baking dish. Cover with foil and bake at 350 degrees F for 20 minutes.
Remove the foil, sprinkle the pasta with the remaining Parmesan cheese. Return the pan to the oven and bake, uncovered, for 5-10 minutes or until heated through.
Serve hot.

Not to be confused with evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk is very sweet (and very sticky) and used primarily in desserts.
Love the spinach dip at restaurants like TGIFriday's and the Olive Garden? Make it at home with these easy-to-follow copycat recipes.

There is no garlic in the alfredo sauce....is that a misprint?
There is no garlic in this recipe. You're welcome to add some if you like. Classic Alfredo sauce doesn't contain garlic.

Wonderful recipe! I used fettucine that I broke in thirds and used fresh broccoli that I teamed. Followd the rest of the recipe as written. The chicken I used was leftover smoked chicken so I thinkthat added some nice extra flavor too.
