HOMEMADE PASTA ALFREDO W/ CHICKEN - PICS

Holaaaaaa... Today I decided to make my own alfredo sauce, I usually  buy the jar already made, but I wanted to try my own this time. Results: Great! ... 
This sauce has so much flavor, it's easy to prepare. You can do it with shrimp, clams, tofu, or chicken as mine. Here I give you my recipe for this Homemade Pasta Alfredo with Chicken  :)

Linguine with Chicken Alfredo

For this preparation you will need any kind of cooked pasta, I use Linguine, you can use penne pasta, spaghetti or angel hair is up to you.


Ingredients for the sauce: (2-3 servings)
1 Chicken Breast  
2 tbsp Corn Starch 
3 tbsp Cream Cheese (I used Philadelphia)
1 cup of Chicken or Beef Broth
2 cups of Fresh Milk 
2 cloves of Garlic, minced
1 pinch of Nutmeg powder 
Salt and Pepper to taste

Preparation Steps: 
Step 1: Start by cutting the chicken breast into pieces, I cut it in cubes. Remember not to cut them so thick. Then marinated them with salt, pepper and olive oil. Set aside while you do the step 2.
