Combine and Serve: Add the cooked linguine and broccoli to the skillet with the Alfredo sauce. Toss gently to coat. If the sauce is too thick, add a little of the reserved pasta water until it reaches your desired consistency. Stir in the Parmesan cheese and nutmeg (if using). Serve immediately, garnished with additional Parmesan cheese and freshly ground black pepper. (Approximately 2-3 minutes)
For a richer flavor, use heavy cream instead of milk.
Add a clove of minced garlic to the skillet while sautéing the chicken for extra flavor.
A squeeze of fresh lemon juice at the end brightens the dish.
Consider adding other vegetables like sliced mushrooms or bell peppers.
To make it healthier, substitute whole wheat pasta and use low-fat cream cheese.
