Why This Recipe Is A Favorite

This dish combines tender chicken and flavorful sausage with fresh vegetables in a rich, creamy sauce. It’s a perfect balance of protein and veggies, making it both satisfying and wholesome. Plus, it’s quick to prepare, ideal for busy weeknights.

Cooking Secrets

- Cook the sausage thoroughly before adding other ingredients to develop a deep, savory flavor.
- Use fresh, seasonal vegetables for the best taste and texture.
- Stir the sauce constantly once the cream is added to prevent it from sticking or curdling.

Step 1

Gently heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and melt some butter in it. While the butter is melting, season the chicken and sausage with basil and oregano. Cook them in the skillet until the sausage is nicely browned and the chicken is cooked through, about 7 to 10 minutes. Once done, take the meat out and set it aside on a plate.

Step 2

In the same pan, add the broccoli, zucchini, squash, and bell pepper. If the pan looks dry, feel free to toss in a little more butter. Cook the veggies until they’re tender but still have a bit of bite, around 5 to 7 minutes.

Step 3

While the veggies are cooking, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the fettuccine and cook it until it’s just tender but still firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain the pasta and keep it warm.

Step 4

Pour both the pasta sauce and Alfredo sauce into the skillet with the veggies, then add the garlic. Turn the heat down to low, cover the pan, and let everything simmer gently for about 7 minutes.

Step 5

Add the cooked chicken and sausage back into the pan and let it all simmer together for another 3 minutes so the flavors meld.

Step 6

Finally, toss in the cooked pasta and stir everything well to combine. Cover the pan one last time, take it off the heat, and it’s ready to serve.

Serving Tips

Serve this pasta with a sprinkle of freshly grated Parmesan and a side of garlic bread. A crisp green salad or steamed asparagus pairs nicely to keep the meal light and balanced.

Storing Food Safely

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave, adding a splash of cream or broth to loosen the sauce if needed. Avoid freezing as the cream sauce may separate.

Really liked the creamy texture but felt it needed more spice. Will add crushed red pepper next time.
