Ingredients
  

Main ingredients
  • 400 g fettuccine You can substitute with other types of pasta if preferred.
  • 800 g chicken breast Can be substituted with shrimp or mushrooms.
  • 200 ml heavy cream For a lighter option, substitute with yogurt.
  • 50 g butter Used for sautéing garlic.
  • 100 g parmesan Freshly grated is recommended for best flavor.
  • 2 cloves garlic Adjust amount according to preference.

Method
 

Cooking
  1. Cook the pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  2. In a large pan, cook the chicken breast until golden brown and fully cooked. Slice the chicken into strips.
  3. In the same pan, melt the butter and add minced garlic. Sauté for about a minute until fragrant.
  4. Add the heavy cream and grated parmesan cheese. Stir until you have a smooth sauce.
  5. Toss the cooked pasta and chicken in the sauce until everything is coated nicely.

Notes

Serve hot, garnished with extra parmesan cheese and fresh parsley for added flavor. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. Reheat gently with a splash of milk or cream to maintain creaminess. Make sure not to overcook the pasta; it should be al dente.
