Can I use a different type of pasta for this recipe?

While fettuccine noodles are recommended for their ability to hold the creamy sauce, you can certainly use your favorite pasta, such as butter egg noodles, penne pasta, or Pappardelle. Just remember to cook it to al dente perfection for the best results.

Can I make this recipe in advance and reheat it?

While it's best enjoyed fresh, you can make the components in advance and assemble the dish just before serving. Store the seared roast, cooked pasta, and Alfredo sauce separately, then reheat and combine when ready to enjoy.

What should I do with any leftovers, if there are any?

Leftovers, if there are any, can be refrigerated and reheated. The flavors often meld even further, making it just as delicious the next day. Simply warm it up and savor your delightful creation once again.

Instructions

Start by boiling a large pot of salted water for the linguine. Cook the fettuccine according to package instructions until al dente. Drain, reserve ½ cup of pasta water, and set aside.
While the fettuccine is cooking, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the diced shallots, mushrooms, and green bell pepper to the skillet. Sauté for about 3-5 minutes until the vegetables are tender and the shallots are translucent.
Add the minced garlic and leftover chuck roast to the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the beef is heated and the garlic becomes fragrant.
Pour in the Pepperoncini juice and stir it into the mixture. This will add a tangy and slightly spicy kick to the dish. Continue to cook for 1-2 minutes.
Lower the heat, and stir in the Alfredo sauce. Heat the sauce gently, ensuring it’s well combined with the beef and vegetable mixture. Let it simmer for 5-7 minutes or until it’s heated.
Once the sauce is ready, add the cooked linguine to the skillet. Toss the pasta to coat it evenly with the creamy pot roast Alfredo sauce. Allow it to simmer for a few more minutes to meld the flavors.
Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper if necessary.
Serve the Creamy Pot Roast Pasta Alfredo on individual plates. Garnish each portion with chopped parsley and grated Parmesan cheese to taste.
