Hunters Chicken with Fettucini Bake
From notyourmomma 16 years ago
- 15 minutes to make
- Serves 6
Made on a hectic week night when I hadn't had time to shop and I used the "found" ingredients from the refrigerator. And I always look for ways to up the ante on the veggie content of our meals. What better way to encourage veggie consumption when they are hidden in a lovely red sauce over fettucini noodles?
