The creamy and savory-satisfying quality of the traditional chicken pasta alfredo is renowned. With our delicious fettuccine pasta combined with pieces of chicken, it can also be quite hearty. And what else about this recipe is noteworthy? Making it is really simple.
Because we will mostly be boiling and stirring our ingredients together, it has a quick and simple cooking process compared to many other pasta dishes. This Filipino variation, on the other hand, further streamlines the process by using fewer ingredients while maintaining the same level of excitement and flavour!
What does Filipino Chicken Pasta Alfredo taste like?
Our dish has a lovely buttery quality to it from the rich sauce. Garlic and parmesan cheese will be able to easily melt into the dish’s creaminess. But what I appreciate about this Filipino adaptation is the flavour boost our chicken flakes in oil give it. These are ideal for enhancing chicken’s mildly salty flavour.
The fact that this dish isn’t overly flavorful also means that many diners will likely enjoy it. Since chicken pasta alfredo is already so well-liked, we can bring it to family gatherings with ease. Wait until everyone has a chance to sample this delicious Filipino variation!
How to Make Filipino Chicken Pasta Alfredo
1. Cooking the pasta
- Preparing our fettuccine pasta – You will need 1 lb. of this. Just follow the instructions on the package on how to cook your pasta perfectly. Then set this aside so we can work on our sauce!
2. Creating the pasta sauce
- Cooking with our butter, onion and garlic – Our first step for this is to get 2 tablespoons of butter, and put this in a cooking pot. Apply some heat so it can begin to melt. Once melted, you have to add 3 cloves of garlic you’ve minced, and 1 onion you’ve chopped. Sauté these together until the chopped onions get perfectly soft.
- Integrating the chicken and cream – Incorporate 300 grams of CDO Chicken Flakes in Oil, and then get everything cooking together for 2 minutes. After that, you can pour your 500 ml. of all-purpose cream inside. Wait for it to boil, and then you can set your heat to low.
- Adding parmesan cheese – We will continue cooking the sauce for a bit more time as we stir every once in a while. Just keep doing this until the sauce gets as thick as you would prefer it to be. Then you can integrate ¾ cup of parmesan cheese. Go ahead, and stir this into the mixture too.
3. Putting it all together!
- Placing the pasta in the pot – Just get your cooked fettuccine pasta from earlier, and transfer this into your cooking pot containing the sauce.
- Mixing the pasta and the sauce – And then toss this into the pot until the sauce is evenly distributed for the pasta. Then for some added seasoning, you should top it all off with chopped parsley. Now you can just take the whole dish, and put it in your container of choice. I like to use a pasta bowl for this.
And there you go! You can serve your delightful plate of Filipino Chicken Pasta Alfredo for the whole family to enjoy! Want to see more dishes that would go nicely with this satisfying dish?
