This is a quick and easy family dinner and I agree with the reviewer who mentioned your alfredo sauce will make or break this meal. I used Prego's alfredo with bacon and we loved it! Not having to chop the blend of vegetables which includes asparagus carrots red bell pepper and peas made this a super fast pasta dish. I used fusilli since I'm out of fettucini but any pasta will do. I would make this again if I'm pressed for time. Read More

Grand daughter thought this dish was "awesome"! Nice combination of vegetables. Quick and easy meal that tastes like it took forever. I used a cheese alfredo sauce but you can use your favorite to make this recipe your own. Read More

Yum! This meal is so simple to make and can be thrown together quickly on a busy day using things you most likely already have in your pantry. The Bird's Eye veggies tasted very fresh and tasty. They are very pretty and add so much color to the dish. A couple of tips if you grill the chicken and then slice it into thin strips it adds a lot of flavor plus cuts out the oil. How you feel about this dish is going to depend a lot on what type of sauce you use. I used a home made garlic-alfredo that I had prepared ahead of time. The garlic added a whole new delicious dimension to this. This is a great base but you're going to need to add spices. Garlic black pepper etc. whatever tickles your fancy will work with this.

the family thought this was tasty for the quick fix of needing a super fast throw together recipe. This is a recipe to go to if you want pasta with quick convenience right out of the freezer. Even though I love fresh veggies it's a great sub for when you need dinner on the run. With shorter steps of a jar alfredo sauce frozen veggies and you could totally add the convenience of pre-cooked chicken to boot to make it faster and skip the step of slicing and cooking your chicken (for time constraints)...however the family enjoyed and was together in no time to fuss over.

This was really good. I used Bertolli Light alfredo sauce thinned with a little white wine and about a 1/4 cup Birdeye recipe ready onions and garlic along with the Recipe ready product called for in the recipe. I used shrimp instead of chicken and used farfalle pasta. It cooked up super quick and made a very easy weeknight meal. I would make this again. Read More

I thought this was descent. I followed the recipe as is except instead of using only a cup of alfredo I used the whole 16oz jar I bought. I have made a similar recipe with fresh steamed broccoli and pre-made alfredo that worked fine. Just use a good brand of alfredo sauce. I prefer the fresh vegetables version but this was fine considering it was so quick to make and it was too hot today to be in the kitchen too long. Plan to eat right after making as it does get dry the next day. Read More

This was very easy and quick! Awesome for a busy day. Much better than take-out. I like that the vegetables are all ready cut up and I don't have to buy a lot of all different things. They don't turn into mush when cooked either. Season to your liking and this makes for a nice family meal. I served this with garlic bread and cantaloupe. My guys are not really into salad but a salad would be a perfect side dish with this. Read More
