03 - 1 cup finely grated Parmesan

04 - 1 cup creamy heavy cream

05 - 2 garlic cloves, chopped small

07 - 8 ounces of pasta (rotini or penne work well)

# Instructions:

01 - Cook the pasta in salty water until it’s tender but firm. Reserve half a cup of the cooking water after draining.

03 - Use the same pan to melt the rest of the butter. Stir in the heavy cream and Parmesan, letting it thicken up. Sprinkle some salt and pepper to taste.

04 - Stir the pasta into the sauce and gently toss in the cooked chicken. Add some pasta water if the sauce feels too thick. Finish with basil and extra cheese.

# Notes:

01 - You can swap chicken for tofu or shrimp.

02 - Mix in veggies like mushrooms or spinach if you'd like.

03 - Keep leftovers in the fridge for up to three days.
