Easier than regular Chicken Cordon Bleu with the added bonus of pasta! I really enjoyed this recipe.

I modified the recipe some. With our love of garlic, I added a bit more along with more ham, pepper and parsley. Due to the salt in ham, I took salt out of the ingredients, so you might want to salt to your taste.

If you don’t like swiss cheese, you can use a different cheese. I think it would taste pretty yummy with provolone.

We love alfredo, so I was super excited when I ran across this recipe. So much easier and faster! I love not having to boil the pasta separate and heat up the house even more during the summer months.

This recipe isn’t quite as rich as the old way I used to make alfredo, but it’s rich enough. I don’t think I’ll ever go back to the old way. I’m excited to try it with crab and see how it turns out.
