Instructions

1. Boil a pot of salted water and cook the twisted pasta until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving some pasta water.

2. Season chicken with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Heat olive oil in a skillet and sear chicken until golden and cooked through. Slice into strips and set aside.

3. In the same skillet, melt butter and sauté minced garlic until fragrant and slightly golden.

4. Pour in the heavy cream and stir. Add Parmesan and mozzarella gradually, stirring until sauce thickens.

5. Toss in the cooked pasta and mix to coat. Return chicken to skillet, stir gently, and serve hot with extra cheese or herbs.

Notes

Use freshly grated Parmesan for the best texture and flavor.

Adjust cream consistency with a splash of reserved pasta water if needed.

Don’t overcook chicken—sear until just golden and juicy.
