2 tbsp olive oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp Italian seasoning
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
3 cups chicken broth
2 cups heavy cream
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
12 oz pasta (penne or fettuccine)
2 tbsp butter
Optional: chopped parsley, red pepper flakes
Instructions

3. Pour in chicken broth and heavy cream; stir well.
4. Add uncooked pasta to the pot. Stir and bring to a simmer.
5. Cover and cook 12–15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until pasta is tender.
6. Remove lid and stir in butter and Parmesan cheese until melted and creamy.

Notes
For extra flavor, sear chicken until golden.
Use freshly grated Parmesan for the best melting texture.
Great with spinach, broccoli, or sun-dried tomatoes added in.
