Last week I posted my recipe for Fresh Rosemary Garlic Fettuccine. The fresh fettuccine pairs well with this recipe of grilled chicken and fresh vegetables in a cream sauce. Did I say … it’s deliciously decadent? It is … rich, creamy and delicious. After making the broccoli cheddar soup and this I think it’s time to go back to some healthy lower fat eating! Enjoy … you can splurge once in a while.
Grilled Chicken & Fresh Vegetables in a Cream Sauce
Ingredients
- Fresh Garlic Rosemary Fettuccine Noodles
- 2 cups sliced fresh mushrooms
- 1 cup sliced green onions

These look delicious! Homemade pasta makes it that much tastier.
Oh man, I want some of this! Great presentation! Love the colors.
Thanks Liz! Have to break away from my black and white every now and then. 🙂
Such lovely pasta! Also, is that your pasta in the header? What flavors are those? Very intrigued. Keep up the good work. YUM!
Thank you so much! Yes, those are my ravioli in the header. Off hand I’m not exactly sure what I stuffed them with. I have made so many different ravioli. They may be posted under the “pasta” category. I’m thinking those were sausage stuffed or possibly butternut squash, which is one of my favorite.
