Provided by Valerie Bertinelli

Categories     main-dish

Time 3h40m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 1/2 cups plus 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour (about 8 ounces), plus extra if needed
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
3 large eggs plus 2 yolks
1 pound broccoli florets, large pieces cut in half or quartered
4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 teaspoons lemon zest (2 lemons)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 1/4 to 1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts (3 small breasts)
1 tablespoon minced garlic (4 cloves)
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
4 cups half-and-half
1 cup shredded Asiago cheese
1 cup shredded Parmesan
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (1 lemon)
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • For the homemade fettuccine: Combine the flour and salt in a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook. Add the eggs and yolks and mix on medium speed. Turn the mixer off and scrape down the sides of the bowl, pushing the flour towards the center. Continue to mix on medium speed, repeating these steps until the dough comes together into a ball. If the dough sticks to the sides of the bowl, add flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, until it forms a cohesive ball. Knead the dough on medium-high for 3 to 4 minutes. When the dough is smooth, bright yellow in color and bounces back when pressed, transfer it to a lightly floured work surface. Knead by hand a few more times and then form into a ball. The dough should feel moist but not sticky; knead in more flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, as necessary. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours but no more than 4 hours.
  • Fit the stand mixer with the pasta roller attachment and set to the widest setting (No. 1). Position the stand mixer with 2 to 3 feet of counter space to the left. Remove the dough from the refrigerator and divide into three portions. Work with one piece of dough at time, keeping the rest under plastic wrap so it doesn't dry out.
  • With your fingers, press a portion of the dough into a roughly 5-by-2 1/2-inch rectangle. Dust lightly with flour on both sides. Turn the mixer onto low speed and feed the dough through the roller with the 2 1/2-inch parallel to the roller. Next, fold the two ends of the dough into the center so they just meet and then fold one half over the other so the dough closes like a book; this is called laminating the dough. Use your fingers to seal the two edges together, then once again shape the dough into a 5-by-2 1/2-inch rectangle. Dust the dough with flour and feed it through the roller a second time. Repeat by laminating the dough one more time and feeding it through the roller. Dust with flour and feed through the roller three more times, dust with more flour as needed.
  • Adjust the roller to setting No. 3 and feed the dough through the roller twice. Adjust to setting No. 5 and feed the dough through two more times. At this point the dough will be over a foot long. Use your right hand to feed the dough through the roller and your left hand to catch the dough. Always be very gentle with the dough to prevent tearing. Be sure to feed the dough through the machine so that it does not fold onto itself. You can make small adjustments to how the dough is entering the roller by gently guiding it to the left or right. If the dough is too long to handle, simply cut it in half and work with a smaller portion.
  • Finally, adjust the roller to setting No. 7 and feed the dough through another two times. After the dough has gone through the roller for the last time, dust it all over with flour and then fold it over itself and hold under a piece of plastic wrap. Repeat these steps with the remaining two pieces of dough.
  • Replace the roller attachment with the fettucine cutter attachment. Dust a baking sheet with flour. Cut the rolled dough into 12-inch pieces and feed through the fettucine cutter on low speed. Twist the fettucine into a nest and place on the prepared baking sheet. Cover with plastic wrap while you cut the remaining dough. Lightly dust the tops of the fettucine nests with flour, cover with slightly dampened paper towel and then with plastic wrap. Hold at room temperature for no more than an hour or the pasta will dry out. (Makes 1 pound pasta dough.)
  • For the chicken and broccoli alfredo: Place a baking sheet in the oven and preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
  • Mix the broccoli florets with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil, 1 teaspoon of the lemon zest, and salt and pepper to taste. Add the broccoli to the preheated baking sheet and roast until the lightly charred and tender, 18 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool.
  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Season with salt so that the water tastes like the ocean.
  • Heat a 12-inch, high-sided pan over medium heat. Add the butter and the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil. Sprinkle the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. When the butter is melted, add the chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes per side. If the chicken has browned on both sides but isn't cooked through yet, remove to a baking sheet and finish in the oven. Let cool and then cut into 1/2-inch pieces.
  • To the same pan, add the minced garlic; cook until fragrant, 1 minute. Add the flour and stir to combine, scraping up the dark bits from the bottom of the pan. Whisk in 1 cup of the half-and-half, making sure the flour is completely combined, without any lumps. Whisk in the remaining 3 cups half-and-half, bring to a boil and cook for 3 to 4 minutes. When the mixture has thickened around the edges, but before your whisk leaves a trail behind it, add the remaining 1 teaspoon lemon zest and the Asiago and Parmesan, and whisk to combine. Turn the heat to low and season with salt and pepper. The sauce should have the consistency of a thick soup. If the sauce thickens too much, add a little of the pasta water to thin it out. Add the chicken and broccoli to the cheese sauce and hold over low heat.
  • Meanwhile, cook to the pasta: Separate the strands of pasta on the baking sheet and add them to the boiling water. Cook for 30 seconds, or until the pasta floats to the top. Drain and add to the cheese sauce. Add the lemon juice and toss to combine. Garnish with parsley and serve immediately.

1 (14-ounce) can reduced-sodium chicken broth
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
3 cups shredded roasted chicken (from 1 roasted chicken)

Add the pasta, 1/2 cup of Parmesan, pine nuts, parsley, oil, and lemon zest. Toss to coat, adding some of the reserved cooking liquid, 1/4 cup at a time, to moisten. Season the pasta with salt and pepper, to taste. Mound the pasta into bowls and serve. Sprinkle with the remaining Parmesan and serve.

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 14

10 oz fettuccine noodles, uncooked
1/4 c butter
2 1/2 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into bite sized pieces
6 clove garlic, minced
1 medium onion, chopped
1 - 10 3/4 oz can, cream of chicken soup - cream of mushroom would be good too
1 - 14.5 oz can, cream of chicken soup
2 c chicken broth
1 tsp each - onion powder & garlic powder
24 oz frozen broccoli florets, thawed
1 tsp pepper
1 tsp red pepper flakes, optional
1 c velveeta shreds or more to taste
salt if needed

Steps:

  • 1. Cook pasta al dente. Do not rinse. While pasta is cooking, in a large skillet - ( I used my deep chicken fryer skillet or could use a dutch oven.) - brown chicken, onion and garlic in butter until chicken is no longer pink. Stir occasionally.
  • 2. Once chicken is cooked and onion tender, add chicken broth, soups, pepper, red pepper if using, onion and garlic powder. Stir to combine. Stir in the broccoli and simmer 5 - 10 minutes. Stir in the cheese until melted.
  • 3. Drain pasta well and add to the chicken mixture. Heat through good and serve hot! A sprinkle of fresh Parmesan cheese would be great as well!
  • 4. My troops loved this dish, already requests to make again.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients and tools ready. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling during the cooking process.
  • Season your chicken: Don't forget to season your chicken with salt and pepper before cooking. This will help enhance the flavor of the dish.
  • Cook the chicken thoroughly: Make sure the chicken is cooked all the way through before adding it to the sauce. This will help prevent foodborne illness.
  • Use a good quality pasta: The type of pasta you use can make a big difference in the final dish. Choose a high-quality pasta that will hold its shape well and not get mushy.
  • Cook the pasta al dente: Cook the pasta according to the package directions, but be sure to remove it from the pot just before it is fully cooked. This will help it retain its texture and prevent it from becoming mushy.
  • Make a creamy sauce: The creamy sauce is what really makes this dish special. Be sure to use a good quality cheese and milk, and whisk the sauce until it is smooth and creamy.
  • Add the chicken and broccoli: Once the sauce is ready, add the cooked chicken and broccoli. Stir to combine and heat through.
  • Serve immediately: This dish is best served immediately, while the pasta is still hot and the sauce is creamy. Garnish with fresh parsley or chives for a pop of color and flavor.

Conclusion:

Broccoli chicken fettuccine is a delicious and easy-to-make pasta dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. With its creamy sauce, tender chicken, and fresh broccoli, this dish is sure to please the whole family. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy pasta dish, give this one a try.
