Step-by-Step Instructions
- Fill a large pot with water and bring to a boil. Add salt and cook the twisted pasta for 8-10 minutes until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water, then drain.
- Season chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a skillet, add chicken, and cook for 5-7 minutes per side until cooked through. Remove and let rest.
- In the same skillet, melt remaining butter, add garlic and red pepper flakes, and sauté for 30 seconds. Add chicken broth and simmer for 2 minutes. Stir in heavy cream and extra Italian seasoning, simmer until thickened.
- Whisk in Parmesan cheese until smooth. Return chicken (sliced if desired) and add cooked pasta. Toss with reserved pasta water to reach desired consistency. Adjust seasoning.
- Transfer to a serving dish and garnish with parsley. Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes
Feel free to switch chicken for shrimp or add veggies for a lighter twist. Always use fresh grated Parmesan for best results.
