My husband’s favorite food is fettuccine Alfredo. I don’t mind it but prefer pasta with a tomato based sauce, so I combined the two and made this Sun Dried Tomato Fettuccine Recipe.
It is so creamy, delicious, and beyond easy to make. If you are looking for a simple dinner, this is your recipe. You can throw it together in minutes, and it tastes absolutely amazing.
What meat could I add to this Sun-Dried Tomato fettuccine recipe?
If you are like my husband, you need meat in every meal. I’m a meat lover as well, so I will usually add meat to this recipe.
To keep it easy and basic. I’ll add any meat I have on hand. With this recipe, I have tried:
- Grilled Chicken
- Boiled and Shredded Chicken
- Ground Beef
- Ground Turkey
- Shredded Turkey
- Turkey Sausage
This recipe is extremely versatile. You could also use a different sausage, but I prefer the turkey sausage because it it a little lighter on my stomach.

Can only imagine how good a creamy Alfredo would pair with tomato. It’s got to be divine! Will be trying this! 🙂
My boyfriend and I enjoyed this pasta so much. No need for meat at all.
This was so good! The second time I made it, I added some chopped up cooked chicken. Will be making this again!
