MICROWAVE CHICKEN FETTUCINE ALFREDO PASTA BAKE
Steps:
- In a 4-qt microwave-safe dish add the olive oil, salt, and water. Break the fettuccine noodles in half and place in dish. Microwave uncovered on HIGH in 5 minute increments. Stir after every 5 minutes. Begin checking for doneness around the 20-minute mark. The pasta will probably absorb all the water. If there is still additional water when it's done cooking, drain. Pour the alfredo sauce into a medium-sized bowl. Drain, rinse, and break up the can of chicken. Add the chicken to the alfredo sauce. Add the garlic to the sauce. Stir until the chicken and garlic are completely mixed. Pour the sauce mixture over the cooked fettuccine and mix until it covers all the noodles. Sprinkle the cheese over the top of the pasta. Microwave for 3-5 minutes, until cheesy is completely melted. Serve immediately.

SOLO MICROWAVE FETTUCCINE ALFREDO
This is a very easy solo recipe that can be made in a college style microwave. My old microwave required three 2 minute cycles for the pasta. Cooked chicken or shrimp could be added. Cooking is a creative sport. I must caution you that using a finely grated parmesan cheese, like that found in cans of Kraft or Crystal Farms is important because larger pieces of cheese will not melt properly in the residual heat from the melted cream cheese. This recipe is one of my favorites, and represents one of my more productive efforts to encourage young people to cook. One of my co-workers was eating from a carry out container, She told me that once a month she and her friends went out to dinner at a nice Italian Restaurant ... clearly something that they could not afford very often .. and she had saved some of the Fettuccine Alfredo from the night before. When I suggested that she could make that at home, she looked at me with her big sad brown eyes and said that all she had in her apartment was a microwave. So, I wrote this recipe just for her.
