📜 A Little History

This recipe draws inspiration from the Italian-American love for pasta dishes with creamy sauces—think Alfredo, but with even more flavor. While traditional Italian cuisine often leans away from cream-based sauces, Italian-American kitchens embraced richness and indulgence.

Creamy garlic parmesan pasta became a staple because it’s quick, customizable, and hits all the right flavor notes: savory, tangy, buttery, and umami. Add some seared chicken, and you’ve got a full meal in a bowl.

🛒 Ingredients (Serves 4-6 hungry lovers)

For the Chicken:

  • 2 large chicken breasts, thinly sliced
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp butter

For the Sauce:

  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 5 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cups heavy cream (or half-and-half for lighter version)
  • 1½ cups freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tsp salt (to taste)
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • Optional: ¼ tsp crushed red pepper flakes

Pasta:

  • 1 lb (450g) fettuccine or your favorite pasta
  • Salt for pasta water

Garnish:

  • Fresh parsley, chopped
  • Extra Parmesan (always!)

🧑‍🍳 Instructions & Method

Step 1: Prepare the Pasta

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
  2. Cook pasta according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside (reserve ½ cup pasta water in case you want to loosen the sauce later).

Step 2: Cook the Chicken

  1. Season sliced chicken with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
  2. In a large skillet over medium heat, heat olive oil and 1 tbsp butter.
  3. Sear the chicken until golden brown and cooked through (about 4–6 minutes per side). Remove and set aside.

Step 3: Make the Creamy Garlic Parmesan Sauce

  1. In the same pan, melt 4 tbsp butter over medium-low heat.
  2. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute (don’t let it brown!).
  3. Pour in the cream, stir gently, and let it simmer for 2–3 minutes.
  4. Slowly stir in the Parmesan cheese until melted and the sauce is smooth.
  5. Season with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes if using.

Step 4: Combine Everything

  1. Add cooked pasta to the sauce and toss to coat.
  2. Slice the cooked chicken and lay it on top.
  3. Add a splash of reserved pasta water if the sauce is too thick.
  4. Garnish with chopped parsley and extra Parmesan.
