Step-by-Step Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil over high heat. Add twisted pasta and cook until al dente, around 8-10 minutes. Reserve ½ cup of pasta water, then drain and set aside.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter. Season chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and half of the Italian seasoning. Sauté chicken for 5-7 minutes per side until cooked through.
- In the same skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter, then add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute. Pour in chicken broth, scrape up brown bits, and simmer for a couple of minutes before adding heavy cream.
- Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, then gradually whisk in freshly grated Parmesan cheese, stirring until melted and creamy. Stir in remaining Italian seasoning and red pepper flakes.
- Slice cooked chicken into strips and return it to the skillet with the sauce. Add drained pasta and toss gently for 2-3 minutes until coated. If too thick, add reserved pasta water to desired consistency.
- Remove from heat and sprinkle with chopped parsley before serving. Enjoy your Creamy Garlic Parmesan Chicken Pasta hot.

Notes
Ensure to use freshly grated Parmesan for a smoother sauce and avoid graininess. Adjust red pepper flakes to fit your spice preference.
