ISO pasta for chicken alfredo
Hi, For dinner tonight I am going to cook chicken alfredo for the first time. I have several types of pasta on hand but I don't know which would be the best to use. Any suggestions?
Thanks
Summer

Fettucini is usually the pasta to use for chicken alfredo.

I'm a fan of linguini for alfredo. It's not too small, not too big, just right!

Whatever you have on hand will serve in a pinch but I vote for long thin pasta such as fettucine, linguine, spaghetti...

I like penne with my Alfredo. Then you get sauce inside the tubes too.

I was just waiting a bit for confirmation - but I knew everyone would have a different favorite.

I'd say that I would use most anything, including tortellini. Angel hair would work but it wouldn't be my first choice.

Hi Summer. For a thicker sauce like alfredo, I would use a thicker noodle, i.e. fettucinne or linguine (already mentioned). Ziti or penne would be my next choice.

I haven't had too much luck with spaghetti noodles or angel hair either, but that is just me ;)
I like the suggestions of Penne and Tortellini...

I pretty much use Radiatore for everything. As a second choice I would say Penne.

For alfredo, I'd do fettucini or in a pinch linguini. But, in fact, if it tastes good to you, go for it! Angel hair is one of my favorite pastas, but I wouldn't pair it with a cream sauce.
