Mushroom Alfredo and Pasta

   



An easy way to make a tasty alfredo - with lots of flexibility!
 
   

My husband made this recipe for me a few months ago. It tasted amazing and I'm not a huge mushroom lover! But it was very simple so I asked him to recreate it so I could write down measurements. In the original recipe he created he made his own cream of mushroom soup which he swears by.

But I had him do the new way with a can of mushroom soup instead, however to be honest - you can also use cream of chicken soup if you don't want to use the mushroom soup. Is it really a true alfredo? I don't knwo - but it tastes very good!

  TIP #1: As mentioned you can do this recipe using cream of chicken soup.
  TIP #2: You can substitute the spinach with chopped chicken breasts. This requires an extra step of cubing the chicken and cooking it thoroughly prior to starting this recipe.
  Tip #3: Feel free to make your own cream of mushroom soup - it will undoubtedly have a greater robust mushroom flavor.
  TIP #4: You can substitute brocolli for the spinach too - or even asparagus. There is so much you can do with this recipe - be creative!
