Fettuccine with Alfredo sauce and then some :)

I was running errands and ended up going to the grocery store as well... I went in and picked a few items and my mom picks a few items herself... mushrooms, one red pepper, alfredo sauce, springtime salad, asparagus ...  hmmm what to do...

Well we all know the typical fettuccine with alfredo sauce goes well especially which chicken!! Yum yum... anyways, so we got home and my brother was setting up the grill because he wanted some "Carne Asada" (yea, heavy wind, rain and all) that had been left over uncooked. There were a few pieces of chicken also so I took them out and guess what I ended up having to grill everything ---go figures-- But mean while the meat was cooking I put the water to boil for the fettuccine... Once the fettuccine was cooked I turned it off and added the mushrooms.I did not want my mushrooms to be over cooked. Then I went out to keep grilling... After 10 minutes I went back  and put the pasta with mushrooms to drain and I started cutting the red pepper into slices (uncooked).

Put the fettuccine with mushrooms back in the pan... added the alfredo sauce... turned on the fire (very lightly) and added the sliced peppers and covered the pan... 

I left  to keep grilling; grilling the chicken takes the longest (for obvious precautions needed to take with chicken) and it needs to be very well cooked... but once that was done I took it inside... chopped it up into small pieces.. I wanted more of the taste of chicken than to really bite into it...

My fettuccine with Alfredo sauce and chicken (mushroom and red pepper) was done... but the fire was still on in the grill so I we decided to grill the asparagus... Mmmmm

The food was better than I imagined... The taste a bit different but just what I wanted. Now add the Springtime salad and the asparagus and just imagine. I enjoyed this very much!!
