Description
A rich Italian dish featuring buttery parmesan sauce over fettuccine and garlic-infused chicken. Silky, savory, and elegantly balanced without pork or alcohol.
Ingredients
8 oz fettuccine pasta
4 tbsp unsalted butter
1 cup heavy cream
2 cups freshly grated parmesan cheese
2 cloves minced garlic
Instructions
Boil salted water (4-6 qts). Stir in fettuccine until al dente (6-8 minutes). Reserve 1 cup pasta water before draining.
Heat butter in skillet over medium-high. Add chicken breasts, season with garlic, salt, and pepper. Cook 4 minutes skin-side down, then 3-5 minutes on other side. Transfer chicken to cutting board.
Mix cream and 2 tbsp butter in skillet. Simmer until slightly thickened. Stir in parmesan and garlic until smooth.
Add pasta to sauce, tossing to coat. Use reserved water to loosen sauce as needed. Slice chicken, add to pasta, toss to combine.
Notes
Use fresh fettuccine for best texture
Substitute coconut milk for plant-based option
