  • Optional substitutions: If you have dietary restrictions, feel free to swap out the cream for a dairy-free alternative or choose a gluten-free pasta.

Instructions

  1. Boil a large pot of salted water. Add the fettuccine pasta and cook according to the package instructions. Once the pasta is al dente, drain it and set aside.
  2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Season the sliced chicken breasts with salt and pepper, and cook for about 6-7 minutes until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken and set it aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for about a minute until fragrant. Add the chopped sundried tomatoes and cook for another 2 minutes, allowing their flavors to meld.
  4. Pour in the heavy cream and bring the mixture to a simmer. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and shredded mozzarella, allowing the sauce to thicken for about 3-4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Add the cooked fettuccine pasta, chicken, and fresh spinach to the skillet. Toss everything together until the spinach wilts and the pasta is coated with the creamy sauce.
  6. Plate the dish, and garnish with fresh basil for a pop of color and added flavor. Serve hot, and enjoy!

Notes

Use fresh spinach: Fresh spinach wilts beautifully and adds a nice texture to the creamy sauce.
Grated Parmesan cheese: For the best flavor and texture, use freshly grated Parmesan instead of pre-shredded cheese.
Adjust cream to taste: If you prefer a lighter sauce, you can reduce the amount of cream or substitute with half-and-half.
