Time 45m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 tablespoons butter, or as needed
1 skinless, boneless chicken breast, chopped
½ pound bratwurst sausage, cut into chunks
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 small head broccoli, chopped
1 zucchini, halved and sliced
1 yellow squash, halved and sliced
1 red bell pepper, chopped
1 pound dry fettuccine pasta
1 (24 ounce) jar garlic and herb pasta sauce (such as Hunts®)
14 ½ ounces homestyle Alfredo sauce (such as Prego®)
1 tablespoon minced garlic

Steps:

  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add butter to melt. Season chicken and sausage with basil and oregano. Cook in the hot butter until sausage is browned and chicken is no longer pink and juices run clear, 7 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
  • Add broccoli, zucchini, squash, and bell pepper to the pan with more butter, if needed. Cook vegetable mixture until tender, 5 to 7 minutes, or to desired doneness.
  • Meanwhile, fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil. Cook fettuccine at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain and keep warm.
  • Pour pasta sauce and Alfredo sauce into the vegetable mixture and add garlic. Reduce heat to low, cover, and let simmer for 7 minutes. Add cooked meat and continue to simmer, about 3 minutes more. Add pasta and mix well. Cover and remove from heat. Serve.

Tips:

  • Utilize Fresh Vegetables: For optimal flavor and nutritional value, select fresh, seasonal vegetables. Vibrant colors indicate peak ripeness.
  • Variety is Key: Incorporate a mix of vegetables for diverse textures, colors, and flavors. Consider broccoli, bell peppers, carrots, zucchini, and asparagus.
  • Prep Work Pays Off: Before cooking, wash and chop vegetables uniformly to ensure even cooking times. This also saves time during the cooking process.
  • Al Dente Pasta: For the perfect pasta texture, cook it al dente, meaning slightly firm to the bite. This prevents overcooked, mushy pasta.
  • Flavorful Sauce: Enhance the sauce by sautéing vegetables in a mixture of olive oil and butter. This adds richness and depth of flavor.
  • Fresh Herbs for Vibrancy: Elevate the dish with a sprinkle of fresh herbs like basil, oregano, or parsley just before serving. This adds a burst of freshness and aroma.
