I called it a "Not So Chicken Alfredo" because I left the chicken out all together. It's not that I'm a vegetarian, although I should be with as much as I love animals, it's that I'm too big of a baby to touch raw meat. It just grosses me out beyond belief, so I just don't do it. I tried to feed my dogs a RAW diet for a couple months and I had to use gloves just to do it, then afterward I'd scrub down like I was going into surgery...EW GROSS! Anyway, since I didn't do chicken, I just added 2 cups of broccoli instead of one and took out step 4 all together.
So this probably would have worked out a bit better had I remembered to add the soup in with step 5. I had gotten all done and had it on my plate, looked over and there was the stupid can of Cream of Mushroom soup on my table. *facepalm* So I just dumped everything back into the saucepan and added the soup, turned the stove on medium and stirred it in really well. I didn't look as pretty as the picture, but it still tasted great...for the most part. I JUST realized it says "¼ teaspoon ground black pepper"...I definitely put in a whole teaspoon of the stuff. I thought that it was really peppery. I swear I'm a genius. NOT! Now I feel like an idiot, oh well, live and learn.
I also didn't use fettuccine noodles either, purely for the fact that I like the way the Rigatoni noodles look. Plus I already had some at home and didn't feel like spending any more money at the grocery store than I already was. And lastly, Texas Toast sounded better than dinner rolls so I went that route, but I didn't do my own; I bought the frozen, make-in-five-minutes ones.
