01
Step 1
Start by heating a large skillet over medium-high heat and melting some butter in it. While that’s warming up, season your chicken and sausage with basil and oregano. Cook them in the butter until the sausage is nicely browned and the chicken is cooked through—this usually takes about 7 to 10 minutes. Once done, set the meat aside on a plate.

Step 2
Next, add the broccoli, zucchini, squash, and bell pepper to the same pan. If the pan looks dry, toss in a little more butter. Cook the veggies until they’re tender but still have a bit of bite, around 5 to 7 minutes.

Step 3
While the veggies are cooking, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook your fettuccine until it’s al dente, about 8 minutes, then drain and keep it warm.

Step 4
Now, pour the pasta sauce and Alfredo sauce into the skillet with the vegetables, and stir in the garlic. Turn the heat down to low, cover the pan, and let everything simmer gently for about 7 minutes. Add the cooked chicken and sausage back in, and let it all simmer together for another few minutes.

Step 5
Finally, toss the cooked pasta into the skillet and mix everything well. Cover the pan again, take it off the heat, and it’s ready to serve. Enjoy!
Why you’ll love it
This dish combines tender chicken and savory sausage with fresh vegetables, all tossed in a rich, creamy sauce. It’s a perfect balance of flavors and textures that feels both comforting and light. Plus, it’s a great way to enjoy a colorful, satisfying meal in one pot.
How to serve
Serve this pasta with a sprinkle of freshly grated Parmesan and a handful of chopped fresh basil or parsley. A crisp green salad or garlic bread on the side will complement the creamy sauce and round out the meal nicely.
Storage & leftovers
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave, adding a splash of cream or broth to loosen the sauce if it thickens too much. This dish is best enjoyed fresh but can also be frozen for longer storage.
