Cheryl, it was actually fresh parm that was grated.

I’m sure you meant to use shredded Parm instead of grated right??

I have a question. The directions call for 4 tbls of oil divided in half. If the chicken/onion mix uses 2 tsp, that leaves 3tblsnand 1 tsp for the sauce – is this what you meant?

I followed this recipe almost exactly. To clarify, the writer did miss where to add the pepper and oregano. I just tossed it in with the wine.
The write specifies you must reserve some of the pasta water when draining it. Very important.
I used the powdered grated Parmesan, and yes, the sauce got VERY thick – I had a small carton of heavy cream, so instead of only using 1/2 cup, I added the entire 8oz (one cup), and then I added pasta water as needed until it reached the consistency I liked.
(I also added a few slices of cooper cheese for extra creaminess, but you don’t have to, the pasta water is what will thin the sauce to a manageable texture)

I’ve never made Alfredo before. I doubled the recipe. At first I thought the sauce was too thin – but when I added the chicken it thickened up. It tasted very good – but it was a little grainy and not as creamy as I’d hoped. I didn’t add any pasta water – perhaps that would have helped.

I followed the steps but the sauce was very very runny. It never thickened.

Also, you mention oregano in the ingredients list but not in the steps

Pretty good, up your inrediants by half and it will work out where you can use the one pound pack of noodles and still be creamy enough , 1 1/2 pounds of chicken, 1 1/2 cup of paramisain, 1 1/2 cups of cream and 3 tablespoons of olive oil after you remove chicken. Dont be shy with cream .

I just made this and it came out yummy!! Only problem was my sauce came out watery. I guess I didn’t have enough cheese, but it was good either way!

This was OK. The cream separated a bit when I added it to the wine (no, it wasn’t soured) and the sauce was a bit thin. I added a little corn starch for thickening and it came out fine.

Also, depending upon the dryness of the wine used, a tad of sugar might be added. I will next time. I used Chardonnay.

The chicken done in the onion and red pepper was very tasty.

prob used the wrong parm, if it comes in a plastic shaker can it wont work, have to grate it your self from a block or buy it already shredded in the cheese section.

Everyone loved it! But you didn’t say when to put in the pepper and oregano so I put it in number 4. Also would agree next time to double the sauce Will definitely make this again!

Sorry, Nancy!! I’ve had it with the exact instructions and it was delish. I wonder if you need to add more cream maybe?

We made this to a T and the sauce was terrible! SO thick and the cheese wouldn’t even melt.. it was like a brick. So disappointing.

I’m not seeing where you put the pepper and oregano in. I am putting it into the sauce and trying it that way but if you could clarify where YOU put it in that would be great. Thanks!

Thanks for this! I tried it out and it worked perfectly! The only problem is that I was low on parmesan cheese, so the sauce wasn’t quite as cheesy/flavorful as I would have liked. But I could tell it would be absolutely divine if I had done it right. I’m excited to make it again!
