  • 1 lb Twisted pasta (fusilli) 450g, or penne, rotini
  • 3 tbsp Unsalted butter, divided
  • 4–5 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 1½ cups Heavy cream, for creamy sauce
  • ½ cup Chicken broth, for depth of flavor
  • 1 cup Parmesan cheese, freshly grated
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning, divided
  • ¼ tsp Red pepper flakes, optional
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish

Instructions

  1. Cook Pasta – Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook pasta until al dente according to package directions. Reserve ½ cup pasta water, drain, and set pasta aside.
  2. Prepare & Cook Chicken – Pat chicken dry; season with salt, pepper, and ½ tsp Italian seasoning. Heat 1 tbsp butter in skillet over medium-high heat. Sear chicken 3–4 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
  3. Make Garlic Parmesan Sauce – In the same skillet, melt remaining butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and red pepper flakes; sauté 30–60 seconds until fragrant. Deglaze with chicken broth, scraping browned bits from the pan. Stir in heavy cream and remaining Italian seasoning; simmer 2–3 minutes. Reduce heat to low; gradually whisk in Parmesan until smooth. Avoid boiling after adding cheese.
  4. Combine & Serve – Return chicken and juices to skillet; add pasta. Toss to coat, adding reserved pasta water as needed for consistency. Taste and adjust seasoning; garnish with parsley. Serve immediately.
