Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before starting, gather and prep all ingredients to ensure smooth cooking.
  • Cook Pasta Perfectly: Cook pasta al dente (slightly firm to the bite) according to package instructions. Don't overcook.
  • Make a Creamy Alfredo Sauce: Use high-quality ingredients like butter, cream, and Parmesan cheese. Cook over low heat and stir consistently to prevent curdling.
  • Sear Chicken Tenderloins: Sear chicken tenderloins in olive oil until golden brown and cooked through. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Combine Carbonara and Alfredo Sauces: Mix cooked chicken, carbonara sauce, and Alfredo sauce together in a large bowl. Adjust seasonings to taste.
