Easy Alfredo & Artichoke Fettuccine

My husband loves fettucine alfredo and I love artichokes, but I have very little time to make it from scratch. This is great to make if you have leftover chicken to serve it with. Also, you can buy all of the ingredients in advance and make it when you have time.
