One Pot Alfredo
One Pot Alfredo that's not too rich; just incredibly delicious and oh so easy. Soft pasta, sautéed veggies, and a creamy sauce make for the best combo.

Wooden Spoon
Measuring Cups
- 1 box Banza chickpea noodles 8oz
- 2 15 oz Jars Alfredo sauce I used Classico Four Cheese Alfredo
- 2 cups sliced chicken
- ½ cup water
- ½ cup white vidalia onion
- ¼ cup mushrooms
- ½ cup spinach
- ½ cup cherry tomatoes optional
- ½ cup grated parmesan
- 1 tsp olive oil
If you’re using raw chicken, you'll first need to prepare that. I usually make my Best Grilled Chicken Recipe or as an alternative: bake seasoned chicken breasts on a baking sheet at 400°F for 18-20 minutes.
Heat a 6qt sauce pot on medium heat. Let olive oil sizzle, then add in chopped white onion, mushrooms, and tomatoes.
Sauté for 5 minutes. Then add in cooked chicken and spinach. Stir.
Pour in both jars of alfredo sauce. To get the rest of the sauce on the jar, add ¼ cup of water to each jar. Put the lid back on and shake. Pour the rest of the water/sauce into the the pot. Total: ½ cup of water.
Then add in noodles. Make sure the sauce is completely covering the noodles. Cover the pot, leaving on medium-low heat. Stir every 5 minutes.
Cook for about 20 minutes, until the noodles are soft.
Stir in ½ cup of shaved parmesan.
Serve hot with extra parm on top and enjoy!
This One Pot Alfredo stores GREAT as leftovers. Keep in an airtight container in the fridge for 4 days and reheat in the microwave in 30 second intervals, stirring between each to avoid any cold pockets.
I highly recommend using a veggie based noodle for this dish - they cook much easier in the sauce and get to be perfectly al dente. See the post above for links to my favorites!
