Or put a different way...'Have a little chicken with your cheese'. When Firefighter/Paramedic Brasga makes this at Station 40 in San Diego, the result is a delicious and very rich alfredo that the crew goes for in a very big way. Notice I chose not to make a joke about the potentially artery-clogging richness of the alfredo and Mitch being a paramedic - I'm above stuff like that. I cut Mitch's original recipe that he says will feed 10 hungry firefighters in half - but it still makes a lot. Serve over your favorite pasta.
