blackened chicken pasta


talk about restaurant fab at home. this pasta is dangerously delish. it is a basic creamy alfredo, kicked up with some spice and some garlic, and sliced spicy blackened chicken served over the top. make it extra special with homemade pasta, and be sure to serve it with a crisp veggie salad and breadsticks or garlic knots.

1/4 cup butter
1 Tablespoon flour
1 cup milk
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 1/2 cups fresh parmesan, grated
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon cayenne

melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. use a whisk and stir in flour and cook for 30 seconds. add milk and garlic. bring to a boil (barely, just at the edges of the pan,) and stir in parmesan. whisk until melted. sauce will thicken as it cools. reheat to improve the texture, adding a couple Tablespooons of milk as needed to thin sauce.

  6. I love this sauce. I always have a block of parmesan, so for me, no special ingredients need to be thought of ahead of time. Creamy and delish!! The blackened chicken is also fabulous. Thank you!

  7. My husband and I just made this and it was AMAZING! We added more of the spices because we had more chicken than the recipe called for, and it was a tad spicy, but the sauce evened it out. We will definitely be making this one again!
