Chicken Linguine Alfredo



We love pasta - all sorts whether it is spaghetti, fettuccine, linguine, lasagne, macaroni or others and cook it often, whether Chinese style or Western style. Of the many sauces, I love the Alfredo sauce most, followed by carbonara sauce (I replace the pancetta with chicken), tomato sauce with various seafood and spinach basil presto.

Alfredo is delicious. Sauteed garlic and onion, chicken, white round mushrooms, fresh parsley and the cream add much flavor to the pasta.
