This was tasty. My family enjoyed it. I added a little white wine, which was nice.

Made with some broccoli and my husband and I loved it. Wasn't a huge hit with the kids though.

We loved this recipe. The first time I made it I followed the recipe exactly and it was delicious. The second time I made a few alterations and used chopped green onions and some sliced mushrooms instead of the peppers and 2/3 cup chicken broth rather than the spaghetti water and it was every bit as good.

This was really flavorful. Cooking the peppers with the sauce added so much more to the taste. Great recipe!

This was great! :) I did half the spaghetti called for, and used a poblano pepper too, to spice it up a little bit more. Friends loved it!

This is an absolutely fantastic recipe. However, I did change it up a bit, which maybe helped with what others described as a bland flavor. I added garlic salt and garlic powder to the yellow, orange, green bell peppers and purple onions while it was cooking, and I also spiced up the flour, just like others suggested. I used angel hair pasta and for the sauce, I doubled up using one jar of Classico Four Cheese Alfredo mixed with one jar Classico Roasted Garlic Alfredo Sauce. (The brand of sauces you use really makes a difference). Overall, it tasted just like my favorite dish at the infamous Italian Restaurant.

Great starter recipe. I used roasted garlic oil to saute everything, so I added no garlic. I added onion powder, salt, and ground black pepper to the flour, and I added chopped fresh basil and asparagus to the veggies. I boiled my pasta in chicken broth, then tossed the drained pasta with the roasted garlic oil and omitted the alfredo sauce.

I liked this recipe for its foundation. As others suggested however, it was rather bland. To combat this, I made a rub for the chicken using garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper... and omitted using the flour entirely. Also, I added garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and crushed red pepper to the sauce- after those changes, it was fabulous!! I suggest also being choosy with the brand alfredo sauce you buy if dont make your own.

Loved the concept of this one, but I agree with the others - be sure to double the amount of sauce. It was quite dry. I added lots of extra garlic and spiced up the flour, too. I still thought it was a fabulous dish, just needed more sauce and spice! Try it - everyone will love it with those changes!

This recipe is wonderful! I agree with other people that adding spices to the flour helps and using chicken broth instead of the water is crutial. This is a definite keeper.

If you love the chicken scampi at the Olive Garden, this isn't quite it, but it's not bad for an at home knock off either. As many reviewers have said, it's a little bland, so go ahead and spice it up with some extra garlic and whatever other italian spices you prefer. Using chicken broth instead of the reserved pasta water helped add a bit more flavor. You'll definitely want to either halve the pasta or double the sauce, depending on how many you're feeding. It would be much too dry as written. I'm sure homemade alfredo sauce would make this fabulous, but that's more work than I'm looking for unless it's a very special occasion! Overall, my family really enjoyed this dish. Even my 3 and 6 year olds cleaned their plates. Just don't expect that you're getting an exact replica of the Olive Garden's dish. If you want that, head out for dinner!

I read the reviews, and a bunch of them said this was kind of bland... so I seasoned the flour (italian seasoning, salt, garlic powder), added more chopped garlic plus salt and pepper to the veggies. I also served the pasta (angel hair - all I had!) on the side with a drizzle of the sauce (left out most of the reserved pasta water). Even with all of my changes, it was still a bit bland. 4* for my changes.

Great recipe, though I did make my own Alfredo sauce. (I hate that stuff in the jar! Ick!) I just mixed a few Tblsp of butter with a few Tblsp of flour and stired in a sauce pan untill crumbly. I then added about 2 cups of light cream (Heavy cream is better, but I always feel guilty *LoL*) I finished it off with a 1/4 good dry white wine, and 4 large crushed garlic cloves. Yum!!!

I work for the popular Italian restaurant and the dish I recommend the most, my favorite, is the Chicken Scampi. This recipe is perfect for achieving the same dish at home.

Needed quite a bit of "doctoring" - definately needs ALOT more garlic. I also added about 1 cup of grated romano cheese (from the block) and it really helped add to dullness of the jarred alfredo sauce. I will make again and experiment with more spices and homemade Alfredo sauce.

This recipe was OK but there was hardly any sauce at all for the amount of noodles it called for. Next time I'm going to try doubling the sauce.
