Creamy Lemon Pasta Recipe
Looking for a delicious, hearty entree the entire family can agree on? This creamy lemon chicken pasta dish has definitely got you covered! You get a lightened-up creamy alfredo sauce blended with plenty of fresh lemon flavor, tossed with fettuccine noodles, and paired with grilled chicken and fresh broccoli. It really doesn’t get much better and it’s definitely a healthier take on the traditional fettuccine alfredo. This is an entree I loved enough that I would gladly welcome it to a weekly rotation! My kids thoroughly enjoyed it and my husband couldn’t stop raving about it. This lemon cream sauce will have you wondering why you ever bought jarred pasta sauces at the grocery store!
Best Lemon Fettuccine Alfredo
I originally was going to title this Lemon-Pepper Fettucine Alfredo with Grilled Chicken and Broccoli, but I decided to shorten it and omit “Pepper.” With that said though, I think this pasta is definitely highlighted by a fair amount of pepper to get that irresistible lemon-peppery combo. It would also be good with a little red pepper flakes for heat if desired. We usually top it off with grated parmesan cheese, of course. Another variation you could try is swapping the chicken for shrimp or salmon, fettuccine noodles for spaghetti, and broccoli for asparagus. Pair this with one of my favorite sides:
