making chicken alfredo but I only have spaghetti and rigatoni noodles…which would be better?

I’m planning to make chicken alfredo, but all I have are spaghetti and rigatoni. Which one would be the better choice?

Edit: I ended up using rigatoni and it turned out amazing! Thanks for all your suggestions.

Previously, I’ve always used fettuccini, but when I went to make pasta this time, I realized these were my only options. Which noodle would work best for a chicken broccoli alfredo?

  1. I’m glad to hear the rigatoni turned out great! For chicken broccoli alfredo, I would recommend sticking with rigatoni again if you have it. The ridges on the rigatoni can help catch more of that delicious alfredo sauce and the chicken and broccoli pieces, making each bite even tastier. Plus, the hollow shape of rigatoni can hold the sauce inside, which is always a win! If you ever find yourself with fettuccini again, that’s also a classic choice, but rigatoni can definitely be a great alternative. Enjoy your cooking!
