TWISTED PASTA WITH HONEY GARLIC CHICKEN & PARMESAN CREAM

Cook the Pasta:
- Boil a large pot of salted water. Cook twisted pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Cook the Chicken:
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season chicken pieces with salt and pepper.
- Sear chicken until golden brown and cooked through (5–7 minutes). Remove from skillet and set aside.
Make Honey Garlic Sauce:
- In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Stir in honey, soy sauce, and red pepper flakes. Let it simmer 1–2 minutes until slightly thickened.
- Return chicken to the skillet, tossing to coat in the sauce.
Make Parmesan Cream Sauce:
- In a separate saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add garlic and cook 30 seconds.
- Stir in flour and cook 1 minute to form a roux. Slowly whisk in cream until smooth.
- Add Parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Stir until creamy and thickened (2–3 minutes).
Combine:
- Toss the cooked pasta with the Parmesan cream sauce.
- Gently fold in honey garlic chicken.
Serve:
- Plate and garnish with parsley and extra Parmesan.

💡 Tips:

For extra flavor, you can roast the chicken in the oven with honey garlic sauce before mixing with pasta.
Add vegetables like broccoli or bell peppers to make it a full meal.

If you want, I can also create a one-pan version where the pasta cooks directly in the sauce with the chicken—super easy and even creamier!

Do you want me to do that?
