- 2 tbsp all purpose flour

- 1/2 cup parmesan cheese shredded

- Wash, prepare and chop Kale or spinach and set aside
- *If chicken is not warm you will want to warm it on the stove top with a tbsp of butter and add in Kale or spinach

Once a paste has been made slowly add in heavy cream and milk whisking as you go.
Once combined well, add cheeses.Then add salt and pepper to taste. Set sauce aside – if you are looking for a new cookware set I love this Our Place Set
In a pot bring water to a boil and add 16 oz of pasta once it comes to a boil. Once pasta is done strain well and place back in pot.
Add warm chicken and kale to the pasta.
Then add sauce to the pasta
Serve with freshly Parmesan cheese if desired.
We normally use freshly shredded parmesan cheese and love this little shredder. I mistakenly thought we had some and ended up having to use grated instead.
Sides: Chicken Alfredo Pasta
This could be served all on its own, but if you want to add a few more veggies to this meal you could also add a small garden salad loaded with your favorite fresh vegetables. And every Chicken Alfredo Pasta meal deserves some garlic bread.
Crazy Busy Mama Tip:
If you wish you can reserve a 1/4 of a cup of pasta water and add back in when mixing sauce, chicken, kale and pasta. The pasta water will help to enhance the flavors of this dish. We love to serve ours with freshly grated Parmesan cheese and this shredder makes it super easy! Thickness of sauce: Alfredo sauce will thicken as it sets, if you need to thin it out you can add more milk.
