– 2 tbsp unsalted butter
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 cup heavy cream
– 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
– 1/2 cup tomato puree
– 1/4 cup chicken or vegetable broth
– 1 tsp Italian seasoning
– Salt and black pepper, to taste
For Garnish:
– Fresh basil, chopped
– Extra Parmesan cheese
Instructions:
1. Cook the Pasta:
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the spaghetti or fettuccine and cook according to package instructions, usually about 9-11 minutes, until al dente. Drain the pasta, reserving 1/2 cup of pasta water. Drizzle the olive oil over the pasta to prevent sticking and set aside.
2. Prepare the Chicken:
In a large skillet, melt 2 tbsp of butter over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Add the chicken tenderloin slices, smoked paprika, chili flakes if using, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side until the chicken is golden and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
