🍳 Instructions

  • Sauté for 1–2 minutes until fragrant (don’t burn!).

3. Make the Sauce

  • Pour in chicken broth and heavy cream.

  • Stir in uncooked pasta.

  • Simmer uncovered, stirring occasionally, for 12–14 minutes, or until pasta is tender.

4. Add Parmesan & Chicken

  • Stir in Parmesan cheese and return the chicken to the pan.

  • Mix until sauce is creamy and coats the pasta.

  • Garnish with parsley and red pepper flakes if desired.

🍽️ Pro Tips

  • Thicker sauce? Let it simmer a bit longer before serving.

  • More cheesy? Add extra parmesan or a little mozzarella.

  • Add veggies: Spinach, broccoli, or sun-dried tomatoes go great!

  • Meal prep friendly: Stores well in the fridge for up to 3 days.
