  • In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat.
  • Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
  • Stir in heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer.
  • Add parmesan cheese and whisk until smooth and creamy.
  • Season with salt, pepper, and a pinch of nutmeg (optional).

4. Combine

  • Add cooked pasta to the sauce and toss to coat.
  • Top with sliced chicken and gently stir to combine.
  • Garnish with chopped parsley and extra parmesan before serving.

👩‍🍳 Tips & Variations

  • Use grilled shrimp or mushrooms for a twist.

📦 Storage Tips

  • Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat gently on the stove with a splash of milk or cream to loosen the sauce.
