Steps

Read instructions and get ready to cook

1
Cook the Pasta

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook fettuccine according to package directions until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water before draining.

2
Prepare the Chicken

Cut chicken breast into 1-inch pieces. Season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.

3
Cook the Chicken

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken pieces and cook until golden and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes. Remove to a plate.

4
Prepare the Garlic

Peel and mince garlic cloves.

5
Start the Sauce

In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.

6
Add Cream

Pour in heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Cook for 3-4 minutes until slightly thickened.

7
Add Cheese

Reduce heat to low. Gradually add grated Parmesan cheese, stirring constantly until melted and smooth.

8
Season the Sauce

Season with remaining salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes.

9
Add Spinach

Add fresh spinach to the sauce and stir until wilted, about 1-2 minutes.

10
Return Chicken to Skillet

Add the cooked chicken back to the skillet with the sauce and spinach.

11
Add Pasta

Add the drained pasta to the skillet and toss to coat with sauce. If sauce is too thick, add a splash of reserved pasta water to reach desired consistency.

12
Serve

Serve immediately, garnished with additional Parmesan cheese if desired.
