Directions Creamy Chicken and Shrimp Alfredo
Directions
-
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil, add 2 tablespoons olive oil. Add trottole and cook at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes, drain.
Heat remaining olive oil in a large skillet and add garlic, basil, red pepper flakes, and black pepper. Add chicken, cook and stir until browned, about 10 minutes.
Melt butter over medium heat in the large pot used to make the pasta. Add cream cheese and stir until creamy, about 1 minute. Add 2 cups milk and heavy cream, stirring until warm, about 5 minutes. Add Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese and continue stirring. Add more milk to thin sauce, if needed. Add pesto and sun-dried tomatoes.
Stir cooked chicken and pasta into the sauce. Add shrimp, cook and stir until shrimp turns orange, 6 to 8 minutes more.
