Spaghetti Squash Chicken Alfredo

Spaghetti Squash Chicken Alfredo

Flavors Used:

Experience the Dantastic combination of al dente spaghetti squash generously coated in a smooth and creamy Alfredo sauce. This Spaghetti Squash Alfredo recipe is a reimagined version of the classic chicken Alfredo pasta, infusing the subtle sweetness of squash with a rich garlic-flavored sauce, complemented by tender chicken breasts. It’s a flavorful alternative to traditional pasta dishes, promising a satisfying experience in every forkful.

Originating from early 20th-century Rome, Alfredo sauce was initially crafted by Alfredo di Lelio, who aimed for a simple yet rich combination of butter, Parmesan cheese, and pasta water. Over time, this classic sauce has evolved, and in our updated version, we’ve embraced garlic Alfredo sauce, bringing in a depth of flavor with its garlic accents. This complements the addition of fresh garlic in our recipe. Substituting traditional pasta with spaghetti squash, we offer a nutritious and texturally interesting alternative, pairing beautifully with the tenderness of grilled chicken.
