You ever have one of those days where everything just feels like too much? I had one of those last week, where the only thing I wanted to do when I got home was crash on the couch. Cooking? Ha! But then, the craving hit: creamy, cheesy pasta—my ultimate comfort food. I remembered this one-pot chicken Alfredo recipe I once tried. The first time, I totally burned the chicken because I got distracted by a rerun of my favorite show. But this time, I was determined to get it right. And guess what? One pan, minimal effort, and it was just as creamy and dreamy as I hoped.
