→ Pasta Goodies

10 - Pick 340g of fettuccine or your fave noodle
11 - Use 2 tablespoons more of unsalted butter
12 - Mince 2 more garlic cloves
13 - Pour in 240ml heavy cream
14 - Shred up 100g Parmesan cheese
15 - Mix in 120ml chicken stock
16 - Salt, whenever you need it
17 - Black pepper, as you please

# Instructions:

01 - Fill a big pot with salty water and get it boiling. Once it bubbles, put in your noodles and cook just until they're still a bit firm. Drain them and leave them for later.
02 - In a hot pan, pour olive oil. Toss in chicken bits and cover with pepper, Italian herbs, and salt. Cook 'til the pieces are nice and browned through for 6 to 8 minutes. Scoop out the chicken and set it aside.
03 - Turn the heat lower and melt the butter in the same pan. Drop in the minced garlic and cook until it smells good. Put the chicken back and give it a good toss with the buttery garlic.
04 - Grab a different pan. Melt some butter over medium. Sauté the garlic real quick, then gently pour in cream and chicken stock. Let it all start to bubble slowly.
05 - Mix in your shredded Parmesan and keep mixing until it's all melty and the sauce turns thick. Add salt and pepper however you like it.
06 - Stir the cooked noodles with your creamy sauce so everything gets coated nicely.
07 - Pile up your pasta on plates, lay the garlic butter chicken on top, and shower with chopped parsley. Pour on more garlic butter if that's your thing.

# Notes:

01 - For a super silky sauce, let that cheese melt once you turn off the burner. Wait till the end to sprinkle on parsley to keep everything fresh and green.
