  • Pour cream into pan with chicken, removing garlic cloves. Stir in Parmesan. Cook pasta according to package instructions.
  • Toss pasta with sauce and serve with extra Parmesan.

Leigh's notes:

This was soo good! Nohé loved it and asked that I add it to our regular recipes, if I can find a way to make it less...rich. I used whipping cream but I'm sure even 10% would work. 
I used two chicken breasts and also steamed broccoli on the side and added it to the mixture in the end. I added parsley too but then decided that I hate parsley.
I added salt and pepper to the sauce while I was making it and recommend doing this. I cut the 4 garlic cloves in half to let out extra flavour but I think next time I would even mince one of the cloves.
Oh man, this was sooo good :D

*Don't be put off by the poor picture I took! It looks like there isn't enough sauce for the pasta but I just hadn't mixed it well enough and was really hungry.
