Spicy Creamy Garlic Parmesan Chicken Pasta
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 8 oz of fettuccine pasta
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
- 4 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 cup of heavy cream
- 1/2 cup of grated parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon of red pepper flakes
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Cook the fettuccine pasta according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Season the chicken pieces with salt and pepper, then add them to the skillet. Cook until golden brown and no longer pink in the center, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes, and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Stir in the grated parmesan cheese until the sauce is smooth and creamy.
- Add the cooked fettuccine pasta and cooked chicken to the skillet, tossing to coat everything in the creamy garlic parmesan sauce. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until everything is heated through.
- Season with additional salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
- Serve hot and enjoy the spicy creamy garlic parmesan chicken pasta!
Creamy Garlic Parmesan Chicken Pasta with a spicy kick is a modern twist on the classic Italian dish. This fusion of flavors combines the rich and creamy texture of the traditional recipe with a bold and fiery kick of spice. The dish has its roots in Italian-American cuisine, where chefs and home cooks alike have experimented with adding a spicy element to the beloved creamy pasta dish. The best versions of this dish can be found in Italian restaurants in the United States, particularly in regions with a strong Italian culinary influence such as New York and Chicago. The key to getting this dish right lies in balancing the heat of the spice with the richness of the creamy garlic parmesan sauce. Chefs often achieve this by using a combination of red pepper flakes, cayenne pepper, or even a splash of hot sauce. It's important to note that the quality of the parmesan cheese and the tenderness of the chicken are crucial elements in making this dish truly exceptional. For those looking for a famous alternative method, some chefs recommend incorporating spicy Italian sausage or using a spicy marinade for the chicken to infuse the dish with heat.
