Pasta Alfredo is one of those meals that I wish I could eat every night of the week. Silky fettucine noodles drenched in a rich, flavorful sauce of cream and Parmesan cheese with just a hint of spicy nutmeg. Is there a more comforting meal? This simple recipe adds chicken and broccoli to the classic fettucine alfredo, making it a satisfying one-pot meal.

The chicken slow cooks in a seasoned mixture of cream and chicken broth. Pasta, broccoli, and cheese are added for the last half hour of cooking, making this a one-pot meal that's as easy to enjoy after work as it is on a lazy Sunday evening.
