Instruction

  • Cook pasta as per the instructions. Drain and reserve ½ cup of the pasta water.
  • Add the oil to a large skillet. Once hot, add the garlic and cook until fragrant. Add the chicken, Italian seasonings, salt and pepper, and cook until the chicken is no longer pink. Stir through ¼ cup of the parmesan cheese, then remove the chicken from the pan.
