5 Cheese Chicken Fettuccine
This pasta is what dreams are made of. 5 types of cheese, chicken, pasta, veggies, herbs, Mama Dini Spice Blend...it is an absolute flavor explosion. I promise. You're going to love it.
Cheese Blend Recipe:
I recommend using full fat chesses. Full fat cheeses can be added to dishes directly from the freezer. The cheese blend will stay in freezer for up to a month.

Pour into 1 gallon resealable bag and shake to mix very well
