One Pot Alfredo
Description
One Pot Alfredo uses chickpea-based noodles cooked directly in Alfredo sauce mixed with water to loosen it. Before adding the noodles, white onions, mushrooms, and optional cherry tomatoes are sautéed in olive oil to soften. Cooked chicken and spinach are added next, then the sauce bottles are emptied along with water, covering the noodles completely. The pot is covered and cooked on medium-low heat with frequent stirring until noodles reach softness, absorbing the sauce flavor.
The dish finishes with grated Parmesan cheese stirred in to enhance richness. The resulting pasta is creamy with tender noodles and a mix of mushroom and spinach textures along with the juicy chicken pieces. The recipe recommends using vegetable-based noodles for easier cooking and better texture in the sauce. This method simplifies Alfredo preparation by combining multiple ingredients and cooking steps into one pot, reducing cleanup.
Leftovers store well in the refrigerator for up to four days and reheat evenly in the microwave with stirring. The components bring together a hearty, comforting pasta meal that balances protein, vegetables, and creamy sauce.
Ingredients
- 1 box Banza chickpea noodles 8oz
- 2 oz Jars Alfredo sauce I used Classico Four Cheese Alfredo
- 2 cups chicken sliced
- ½ cup water
- ½ cup vidalia onion white
- ¼ cup mushrooms
- ½ cup spinach
- ½ cup cherry tomato optional
- ½ cup Parmesan Cheese grated
- 1 tsp olive oil
Instructions
- If you’re using raw chicken, you'll first need to prepare that. I usually make my Best Grilled Chicken Recipe or as an alternative: bake seasoned chicken breasts on a baking sheet at 400°F for 18-20 minutes.
- Heat a 6qt sauce pot on medium heat. Let olive oil sizzle, then add in chopped white onion, mushrooms, and tomatoes.
- Sauté for 5 minutes. Then add in cooked chicken and spinach. Stir.
- Pour in both jars of alfredo sauce. To get the rest of the sauce on the jar, add ¼ cup of water to each jar. Put the lid back on and shake. Pour the rest of the water/sauce into the the pot. Total: ½ cup of water.
- Then add in noodles. Make sure the sauce is completely covering the noodles. Cover the pot, leaving on medium-low heat. Stir every 5 minutes.
- Cook for about 20 minutes, until the noodles are soft.
- Stir in ½ cup of shaved parmesan.
- Serve hot with extra parm on top and enjoy!
Notes
- Leftovers keep well in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days; reheat in the microwave in short intervals with stirring to prevent cold spots.
- Using vegetable-based noodles is recommended for easier cooking and a better al dente texture in the sauce.
- If starting with raw chicken, grill or bake beforehand as preferred before adding to the pot.
