1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
8 oz spaghetti noodles
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions

3. In the same skillet, melt butter and sauté minced garlic until fragrant.
4. Add cream cheese and stir until melted.
5. Slowly pour in heavy cream and whisk to combine.
6. Add grated parmesan and simmer the sauce until thickened.
7. Cook spaghetti according to package instructions. Drain and return to pot.
8. Stir shredded mozzarella into the hot noodles until melted and creamy.

Notes
Always sear the chicken on medium heat to prevent burning the garlic.
Use freshly grated parmesan for a smoother, creamier sauce.
If reheating, add a splash of milk or cream to restore creaminess.
