Chicken Alfredo Parmesan

Here is one of my Mom's yummy pasta dishes...

Cooked Penne or Ziti pasta (12-16 oz. dry)

Diced, cooked chicken (can use canned chicken, drained - I like to crock-pot chicken before-hand)

Cooked vegetables, if desired (broccoli, mushrooms, green onions, etc.)

Sauce:

1/2 cup butter

2 cups heavy cream (can substitute milk for lower-fat)

1 cup sour cream

1 cup fresh grated parmesan cheese

1 tsp. white pepper

1 tsp. minced garlic

1 tsp. salt

1 tsp. black pepper

1 tsp. paprika

1/2 tsp. marjoram

Melt butter in saucepan.  Add garlic.  Add cream or milk. -Stir constantly!-    When warm, add sour cream.  When warm, add parmesan (stirring especially important when parmesan is in, or it will stick).  Add the remaining ingredients (spices), stir and simmer 10 minutes.

Mix cooked pasta, chicken, vegetables and sauce in baking dish.  Sprinkle with additional parmesan.  Bake at 350 degrees until warmed through (about 10-15 minutes).
