What is your favourite pasta?
Is it spaghetti bolognese? Lasagne? Tuna Mornay?
Pasta dish that you "must have- must cook", at least once a month?

And as for me...
When its comes to cooking pasta ...
Its either spaghetti bolognese, pasta tuna bake, spaghetti marinara, chilli prawns pasta (summer pasta feasting) or just a simple, olive oil and lemon pasta.
I have no favourite, but if I must choose, I tend to lean towards simple 'summer' cold pasta.
After 20 over years, I wish I can give spaghetti bolognese a rest... for good! Seriously!
I am kind of 'tired' of having spaghetti bolognese.
My taste bud is yearning for something different! A pasta dish with anything but bolognese!
A pasta dish that I have not tried, a pasta dish that everyone will be asking for an encore!
Not wanting to sit down to sift through all my cookbooks, magazines on the bookshelf... I turned to my laptop for some assistance.
Didn't take me long to chance upon this Creamy Fettuccine Alfredo recipe from Food Network (I think!).
I did my usual... a quick browse through this Creamy Fettuccine Alfredo recipe, to see if I needed anything else!

Hurray!!!
I was glad that I need not rush out to buy anything at all. I have all the ingredients to cook Creamy Fettuccine Alfredo.
But wait!
I need some meat to go with it... and I know that it will go well with chicken.
Should I poached the chicken or should I pan-seared?
Both poached or pan-seared chicken breasts would go well with Creamy Fettuccine Alfredo, but I settled with the later.
In my humble opinion, I think Pan-seared chicken gives in-depth flavour to this Creamy Fettuccine Alfredo.
I might try with poached chicken next, just to satisfy the curious cat in me :).

This simple and creamy Alfredo recipe is keeper.
Perhaps I should use this creamy Alfredo sauce instead of Bechamel sauce :D.
Imagine.... my lasagne or pasta tuna bake will be so creamy and rich :P.
My pasta loving daughter has been asking for a repeat of this Creamy Fettuccine Alfredo.
Yeah, I might cook another round of this Creamy Fettuccine Alfredo with pan-seared or poached chicken and hopefully with some homemade fettuccine to show :P
