Cooking Instructions

• Cook pasta in a large pot of boiling, salted water until firm to the bite (al dente). Drain, reserving 1 cup of pasta water.
• Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Add chicken and season with salt and pepper; cook and stir until chicken is just cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer chicken to a clean plate and cover to keep warm.
• To the same skillet, add butter and stir until sizzling. Add minced garlic; cook and stir until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add heavy cream and bring to simmer; cook and stir until thickened slightly, about 3 minutes. Add parmesan cheese; cook and stir until cheese has melted. Return chicken to pan and stir to coat.
• Add cooked pasta to chicken mixture in skillet; cook and stir until heated through, adding pasta water a tablespoon at a time as needed to loosen the sauce. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Transfer to serving bowl or platter and sprinkle with more parmesan cheese and parsley if desired; serve.
