Chicken and Pasta with Garlic Cream Sauce



I was in the mood for something creamy after I spotted the heavy cream in my fridge. I decided a nice hearty pasta after a long day of work would hit the spot. To flavor the cream I just kept it simple with garlic and it turned out really yummy.

Ingredients:

1/2 pre cooked chicken breast
1 handful thin spaghetti
1/3 cup heavy cream
3 cloves of garlic, peeled and crushed
1 small pinch red chili flake
salt and pepper
parmesan cheese

Directions:

1. Put a large pot of salted water on the stove and bring to a boil

2. Pour cream into a separate pan and add garlic. Over really low heat let garlic infuse cream for as long as possible, stirring occasionally.

3. When water is boiling add pasta. Turn heat up to medium high on other pan.

4. Add chili flake and a few grates of parm cheese to cream. Continue cooking until sauce is thickened to your liking. Season with salt and pepper.

5. Once pasta is done, move into cream sauce to finish cooking. The pasta water will thin out the sauce so make sure to thicken it up again.

6. Put in a bowl and top with cooked chicken and extra parm cheese.
