Looks yummy! Why not just cook the noodles in water? One less thing to buy.
Hi Cristina, you can absolutely cook the noodles with just water. However, for best flavor I recommend cooking them with the chicken broth.
About how much chicken broth should be left in the pot?
Hi Sara,
When I make this the amount of leftover broth has varied, ranging from 1/2 cup to almost none at all.
Hope this helps ~ Heidi
Thank you my family loved it ❤
You’re very welcome, Sara… and I’m so glad to hear everyone loved it!! This is definitely a family favorite here at my house, too! 🙂
Made it today! Very delicious!
Thanks, Abby… I’m so glad you loved it! 🙂
The only part I don’t understand is why it says to remove any excess chicken broth? I want to make this now, but that part is throwing me. How do you know if there is excess broth? Doesn’t it say 3 cups?
Hi Cynthia,
When the noodles are finished cooking, you’ll just want to make sure you remove any excess liquid to make sure the sauce isn’t too runny. Hope that helps! 🙂
Can’t beat one pot meals, they’re my favourite kind to keep the dish washing low and this fettucine sounds and looks so creamy!!!!
I agree, Christie… I love having just one pot to wash when dinner is done! 🙂
