Garlic Asiago Italian Sauce, Chicken Alfredo Worth Staying Home
Take off your skinny jeans and put on your soft pants. You’re eating in tonight. No more ordering chicken fettucine Alfredo from a menu. You’re going to make it so delicious at home that you won’t be happy with it in any restaurant.
My sister, Heidi, gave me this recipe in 2008. I’ve adjusted it to include finely diced onion, basil, and more cream so that the sauce is smoother and velvety. If you don’t like garlic or you plan to do a lot of smooching later, you can leave the garlic out.
Pasta shouldn’t get all the fun—dip Chicken In A Biskit Chicken Strips in the cheesy sauce. Or pick up a crusty loaf of your favorite bread for soaking up the goodness. One of the best places for that in the Midwest is Breadico Sourdough Bread Company in Sioux Falls, South Dakota.
Sweet wishes,

I love garlic. This sauce looks amazing!
Me too, Paula. I’ve been known to sneak a little extra garlic in here. My family won’t eat it anyway. I get leftovers for a few days and I love it!
This by far one of the simplest recipe for making this dish. Thanks a lot Staci.
