Instructions

1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the fettuccine until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water and drain.

3. In the same skillet, melt butter and sautée garlic until fragrant.

4. Add heavy cream to the pan and bring to a gentle simmer.

5. Slowly stir in Parmesan cheese, whisking until smooth and creamy.

6. Add chopped sundried tomatoes and stir into the sauce.

7. Slice the cooked chicken and return it to the pan. Let simmer for a few minutes.

8. Toss the cooked fettuccine in the sauce. Add pasta water as needed to loosen the sauce.

9. Garnish with fresh parsley and extra Parmesan before serving.

For extra flavor, use grilled chicken or leftovers from rotisserie chicken.

Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a subtle spicy kick.
