Ingredients

Chicken

1 pound chicken breast filleted and pounded to ⅜" thick cutlets

2 ½ teaspoons cajun or blackened spice

1 tablespoon unsalted butter

1 tablespoon olive oil


Pasta

226 grams (8 ounces) egg fettuccine 

100 grams (7 tablespoons) unsalted butter

3 cloves garlic minced

1 ¼ cups Parmigiano Reggiano grated, plus more for serving

1 ¼ cups heavy cream

Salt and white pepper to taste

Pich of nutmeg

3 tablespoons Italian parsley minced

1 cup reserved pasta water for thinning, will not need it all

Asparagus and Tomatoes

226 grams (8 ounces) egg fettuccine 

100 grams (7 tablespoons) unsalted butter


Roasted Asparagus and Tomatoes

1 pack of asparagus, stalks trimmed

2 pack cherry tomatoes

Olive oil

Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste

Bottled balsamic glaze

Optional: 

3/4 cups shredded mozzarella

Fresh chopped basil, for garnish


Directions

Follow instructions from videos.


Notes

  • Make the Alfredo sauce first and then boil the pasta. The sauce waits for the pasta, not the other way around.
  • Make sure to add white pepper and nutmeg to the Alfredo sauce for extra flavor. 
  • When preparing homemade cajun seasoning, omit the salt because it will be added to the other ingredients. 
  • Use a stainless steel pan to sautee the chicken. 
  •  Balsamic glaze goes great with the chicken and side.
