Grilled Chicken with Alfredo Sauce
Paul @sillyRobut
Stop buying those plastic tubs of sauce and make your own! It's a lot easier than you'd think. This goes great with grilled chicken, but really any protien will work.

First, put on a pot of water for your pasta of choice. Fettuccine or linguine are common, but if all you have is spaghetti, that's fine too. We're not fancy.
When it's boiling, cook the pasta. If it finishes up a little early, drain and set aside, but it should finish up around the time everything else is ready.
- 2
Start grilling your chicken breasts. I like to slice them so they're not super thick, and don't take forever to cook all the way through.
- 3
In a sauce pan, gently melt your butter at low to medium heat. I tend to turn the heat up for a moment and stir constantly, then back to low if I need to set it aside and do something else real quick.

Once your butter is melted, stir in your garlic, salt, and pepper with a whisk, then slowly add the heavy whipping cream. Keep stirring constantly at medium heat.

A Note on Stirring: Sometimes people will tell you that you need to 'stir constantly' on a recipe like this. Yes, you do, but it's not going to get ruined if you need to remove the heat, set it aside for a moment, and do something else. 90-120 seconds of sitting there isn't gonna make much of a difference in your sauce.
- 6
Keep stirring, it should be getting pretty close to hot by now. Mix in the parmasean cheese and you guessed it, keep stirring. If all of the cheese is mixed in and melted, and it's still a little runny, you can make a very small corn starch + water slurry and mix that in, but be very careful you don't start the "add starch, now add milk, now add starch, now add milk" loop.
- 7
By now your chicken should be grilled, your pasta cooked and drained, and your sauce ready to go. I like to pre-slice the chicken before plating, then serve it on the top. Garnish with pepper if that's your thing.

This is my simplest (and quickest) Alfredo recipe. If this does good I'll share my more "advanced" version. Serve with pasta or as a dipping sauce. Enjoy!#February2026
Alfredo Sauce
The servings and time is for the alfredo sauce only.My mum makes an amazing homemade alfredo sauce. I was craving it bad and found a little Italian lady on YouTube so I watched her make it since I couldn’t remember how my mum made it. We have a lot of Italians in our family so I knew this would be close and delicioso! I also tweaked it a little bit since we like cream cheese in ours. I used half and half since I didn’t have heavy cream, but it still is very good!
Ravioli in Alfredo Sauce
I had a family size bag of ravioli in the freezer that was forgotten for a minute. I forgot to thaw anything for dinner. Go me. Story of my freakin life. We needed a change from marinara. I whipped this together in the time it took the hubs to take the grandkids home, about 30 minutes. As my granddaughter says,”it was deeewishus”! This isn’t authentic by any stretch but it was really good. Also, there’s none left lol

My twist on a traditional favorite. I wanted to make an alfredo sauce that wasn't laden with butter and cream (there is normally a ton of both).

Grilled Salmon with Sesame Mayonnaise Sauce
I wanted to create an easier version of salmon chanchan yaki, and improve on it.Use any kind of miso. If you'd like your seasonings on the sweeter side, use white miso.Since the salmon isn't pre-seasoned, you can top a generous amount of the sauce on top.It may seem like a lot of sesame seeds, but I think it's just right in adding some crunch to the salmon.
