Happy National Pasta Day!! 

One of the favorite pasta dishes for my family is my Chicken and Broccoli Alfredo. It’s easy to prepare and can be done in about 25 minutes. When I’m in a rush I go for the prepared Alfredo sauce instead of creating the cream sauce from scratch. This Chicken Alfredo and Broccoli recipe is easy to make during the week or weekend. Most importantly, this traditional Italian pasta dish is simple and quick to make.
