Chicken Linguine Alfredo

370 Calories per Serving

Ok to only be 370 cals per serving, that's pretty good for an Alfredo sauce. I would definitely make this again- but I would leave out the roasted red peppers. I think it just gave the sauce a strange tangy/sweet taste. It didn't make it bad, but the hubs and I both agreed that we'd rather have it without the peppers. Also, I couldn't find shallots at Kroger, so I threw some mushrooms in there. It was very good. The only other thing that I would change is cut back a little on the sour cream. I could taste it a little too much.
