In this video, Ed from No Recipe Required takes you through the steps to create a delicious Chicken Alfredo with Sun-Dried Tomatoes. He begins by explaining his love for Fettuccine Alfredo and how he enjoys creating variations of the classic dish. Ed starts by heating half a pint of heavy cream in a saucepan and letting it reduce while he cooks the pasta. He then introduces the sun-dried tomatoes, which he roughly chops and adds to the cream, allowing them to steep and infuse the sauce with their rich flavor and vibrant color.
As the sauce simmers, Ed seasons it with black pepper and salt, ensuring a well-balanced taste. He then adds grated Parmesan cheese to the sauce, which thickens it and adds a creamy texture. Once the pasta is cooked, Ed drains it and adds it directly to the saucepan, tossing it to coat the pasta evenly with the sauce. He shares his tips for adjusting the sauce consistency by adding a few tablespoons of cream if needed.
To enhance the richness of the dish, Ed adds an egg yolk to the pasta and mixes it in thoroughly. He emphasizes the importance of not overcooking the sauce and keeping the heat low to prevent the egg from scrambling. Finally, Ed plates the Chicken Alfredo with Sun-Dried Tomatoes, garnishing it with extra Parmesan cheese and a few sun-dried tomatoes for a beautiful presentation.
