Pizza Hut Style Chicken Alfredo Pasta
Ingredients
- 330 gm Penne pasta 3.5 cups
- 450 gm Chicken breasts cut into strips for faster cooking
- 3.5 tbsp Butter
- 2 tbsp Flour
- 1 tsp Garlic minced
- 8 nos Button mushroom sliced
- 2 cup Whole milk
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- ¾ cup Grated parmesan cheese
- ½ cup Shredded mozzarella cheese for sauce
- 1½ cup Shredded mozzarella cheese for topping, adjust according to preference
- 3 tbsp Olive oil
- Salt and pepper To taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Coat a baking dish (9 inches x 11 inches) with oil/butter.
- Cook pasta until al dente in a large pot with boiling water seasoned with salt.
- Season chicken breast with salt and pepper and cook in some olive oil till done (Cut chicken breast into strips for faster cooking). Do not overcook. Chop and keep aside.
- Sweat the mushrooms in 1/2 tbsp butter and keep aside. Heat the remaining butter in a large pan over low-med heat.
- Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Then add flour and cook for 1 minute. Pour in the milk and cream, then simmer, stirring constantly, until sauce has just thickened.
- Add the Parmesan cheese and 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella to the milk mixture, along with salt and pepper to taste.
- Stir until cheese has melted. (The Alfredo sauce is ready at this point.)
- Mix in the pasta, chicken, mushrooms and olives and coat everything with the sauce properly. Pour the pasta mixture into the prepared pan, and top with remaining mozzarella cheese.
- Bake for 15 – 20 minutes or until pasta is bubbly and cheese has just started to brown.
- Sprinkle dried mixed herbs or parsley over the top, then serve hot.
Notes
- Vegetarian option: Sautéed broccoli, mushrooms, olives.
- Seafood option: Cooked prawns.
- The Alfredo sauce can be prepared about a day in advance. When it’s time to use, just heat up the sauce and add the pasta and mix-ins.
- If you don’t want to bake the pasta add a 1/4 cup more mozzarella into the sauce instead of topping the pasta.
- Try not to use pre-grated Parmesan, as it does not melt properly. Also, Parmesan cheese is salty, so go easy on the salt.

Food for Soul
Treat others the same way you want them to treat you.
– Luke 6:31 (NASB)
The Golden Rule for a golden life!
Living to bless others is God’s will for us in all of our relationships. We are not here tolive for ourselves, but to bless others in the name of Jesus. This kind of life is transformational. God can use it in ways we would never anticipate to touch the lives of others.
Jesus did NOT say: “treat people the way they treat you.” No; people may treat you badly —but that is not the way He tells you to treat others.
Instead He says: treat them the way you WANT to be treated.
So that’s what The Golden Rule means: true, godly religion is not just all about you,so be outwardly focused and involved with other people, and DO, positively, for EVERYONE you encounter, what you would want them to do for you! God bless
