Michael Scott’s Fun Run Alfredo
with Fresh Fettuccine, Parmesan & Chives
- Eggs
- Wheat
- Milk
Carbo-loading with fettuccine alfredo before a big race? Yes! Scarfing down said fettuccine alfredo minutes before the race starts? Well…it may have hampered Michael Scott’s path to victory in raising money for rabies awareness, but we’re sure our version of this perfect pasta dinner will make you an actual winner at meal time. Fresh fettuccine is served in a creamy Parmesan sauce, topped with garlicky seared chicken cutlets, and sprinkled with chives plus chili flakes for a touch of heat. It’s a dish versatile enough to be your own fun-run fuel (the night before, of course!) or a meal to impress at your next intimate dinner party (Serenity by Jan candles optional). © Universal Television LLC.

Cooking Steps
• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Wash and dry produce. • Peel and mince or grate garlic. Finely chop chives.
• Once water is boiling, add fettuccine to pot (if noodles are stuck together, gently pull apart with your hands before adding). Stir and bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium. Cook, stirring occasionally, until noodles are tender, 5-7 minutes. TIP: Be sure to scrape up any noodles sticking to the bottom of the pot as it boils! • Reserve 1 cup pasta cooking water (2 cups for 4 servings), then drain.
• While fettuccine cooks, pat chicken dry with paper towels. • Place between two large pieces of plastic wrap. Pound with a mallet or rolling pin until chicken is about 1⁄2 inch thick. Season all over with garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
• Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add chicken; cook until browned and cooked through, 4-6 minutes per side. (For 4 servings, you may need to cook in batches.) • Turn off heat; transfer to a cutting board. Wipe out pan; let cool slightly.
• Once fettuccine is done, heat a drizzle of oil in pan used for chicken over low heat. Add minced garlic; cook, stirring, until fragrant, 30-60 seconds. • Whisk in cream sauce base, cream cheese, 1⁄3 cup reserved pasta cooking water, and 1⁄8 tsp nutmeg (2⁄3 cup reserved pasta cooking water and 1⁄4 tsp nutmeg for 4 servings). (Be sure to measure nutmeg—we sent more!) Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low. Cook, stirring constantly, until warmed through, 1-2 minutes. TIP: If sauce seems too thick, stir in more reserved pasta cooking water a splash at a time. • Remove pan from heat. Stir in 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4) and Parmesan until melted and smooth. • Add drained fettuccine; toss until thoroughly coated. Taste and season with salt and pepper.
• Slice chicken crosswise. • Divide pasta between shallow bowls. Top with chicken, chives, and as many chili flakes as you like. Serve.
Poultry is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 165°.

Reviews from our home cooks
Omg wow - this was honestly some of the best Alfredo I've ever had in my life! The noodles were perfect, the sauce was rich and creamy, and every bite was amazing. I really, really hope HelloFresh brings the Michael Scott Fun Run Alfredo back because I would literally order it every single time it's available. So delicious, comforting, and absolutely unforgettable. Please make this a regular option!!
This meal was fun and easy!! Watched the fun run episode while cooking! Please, more office themed meals!!
First time having this meal and all I can say is woooowww!! The noodles were perfect, probably because they're made fresh, and the sauce was so tasty and chicken was a great add on for a perfect chicken Alfredo!! I hope to see this one back soon
Delicious! All ages loved this one. The fresh pasta was a little fiddly, so I'd probably prefer dried even if it's not quite as gourmet. All in all we'd definitely order it again!
This was a bit mediocre for us. We didn't like that it didn't have a broccoli or asparagus option for what we paid for the kit. And the sauce was more labor intensive and was more on par with a bottled Alfredo. The texture of the fresh fettuccine became a bit gummy. We did enjoy the fresh cooked chicken, though.
First time- loved it! The Alfredo is mild with a smooth flavor
I was pleasantly surprised by how flavorful, creamy, and easy this recipe was. I prefer some kind of vegetable in my fettuccine, such as mushrooms, broccoli or zucchini. Would definitely order again!
As a die-hard Office fan, I had to order this recipe. It was definitely tasty and easy to prepare. Great flavors. My only complaint (which is a bit of a stretch) is that I had a hard time separating the noodles before putting them in the pot. They were pretty delicate and tore. So I stopped pulling them apart hoping they would separate in the water. They didn't.
Who doesn't like an Alfredo sauce? Nutmeg was key. Tasty although heavy so a once-in-a-blue option for us. Added sweet peas.
This was so good and easy! I loved the fresh pasta that was provided and my daughter loved it as well!
