Mock Alfredo with Chicken and Peas

Mock Alfredo Makes 4 servings
16oz pasta, uncooked
2 T butter
1 clove garlic, minced
1-1/2 C 2% milk
1-1/2 T all-purpose flour
1/4 C grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 t dried Italian seasoning
1 C chopped rotisserie chicken
1/8 C plain yogurt
3/4 C frozen peas


*Cook pasta according to package directions, drain and return to pot.
*While pasta is cooking, prepare sauce. Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the garlic and saute for 1 minute. Mix the milk and flour together until smooth. Add to garlic. Increase heat to medium-high. Cook until mixture is bubbly and thickened, about 4-5 minutes.
* Reduce heat to low. Stir in Parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning.Cook 1-2 minutes. Stir in chicken, yogurt, and peas. Cook until heated through.
*Pour sauce over pasta and toss to coat.
***This recipe is a take on Eenie Meenie Fettuccine, which can be found in LooneySpoons by Janet and Greta Podleski. That version calls for tuna, sour cream, and basil instead of the chicken, yogurt, and Italian seasoning. I had a rotisserie chicken left over and I didn't have any sour cream or basil. I improvised and it was still yummy!
