Keto comfort food: Chicken and Mushrooms with Roasted Red Pepper Alfredo Sauce
I have always been a big fan of cream sauces. In all my years working in Italian restaurants, it was always the cream based dishes that caught my attention and adorned my plates. The sauce in this dish is amazing and so versatile. I like to serve it over top of my Rainbow Vegetable Noodle Recipe.

Very tasty over spaghetti squash! I’m not very experienced with cream sauces so my only question is why did my grated parmesan clump together instead of blending into the heavy cream? I reviewed the directions and think I followed them exactly?
