Moroccan Fettuccine with Grilled Chicken 

Do you ever just sit there watching the birds fly by or leaves blowing or anything.  Just sitting there not really thinking about anything in particular and then, boom 🤯- you get an idea!??

That’s what happened when I came up with this recipe.  It’s inspired by a pasta dish I used to order in a restaurant I worked in, many, many, many moons ago.

Its a cream sauce – based pasta dish that’s seasoned with curry powder.  A great time saving trick: always use jarred Alfredo in place of a homemade cream sauce.  It’s less fat and calories, it’s delicious, more affordable and it’s just to open a jar!!!

You’re welcome 😘
