Homemade Cheesy Alfredo Sauce (& Applebees 3 Cheese Chicken Penne)


Cheesy Alfredo Sauce:
3 Tbsp Butter
1/4 cup Flour
1.5 Cups Milk
1.5 cups cheese (I used Colby-Jack)
1/2 tsp parsley
Salt
Pepper

Directions:  Over medium heat, melt butter, then stir in flour mixing well.  Add milk, mixing well with a whisk.  Stir in cheese and additional spices (parsley, salt, pepper).  And, oila, the best alfredo sauce ever!  I always thought it would be much harder to make, but this was super easy.

Three Cheese Chicken Penne
(Note:  I am NOT claiming this tastes just like Applebee's, only that it satisfied my craving at the time)

Penne Noodles
Chicken breast, cut into thin strips
Cheesy Alfredo Sauce
Basil
Parmesan
Diced Tomatoes

Directions:  Pour some Olive Oil in a skillet and cook the chicken strips, while you prepare the Penne noodles in a separate pan.  Add seasoning as desired to chicken at this time.  When chicken is done cooking, stir in the Cheesy alfredo sauce and penne noodles.  Simmer for about 5-10 minutes.  Top with basil, parmesan cheese, and diced tomatoes.
