14 ounces bow tie pasta, fresh or dried

1 1/2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
1-3 tablespoons olive oil, for frying
2 tablespoons salted butter
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 1/2 cups heavy cream

Instructions

Cook your pasta
To start, bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil. Remember to season it with salt and oil. Then, cook your bow tie pasta for roughly 11 minutes (if dried).
You can also read the package instructions to ensure you cook the pasta to al dente.
Once cooked, strain the pasta from the water, toss it in some oil, and set it aside for later.

Cook your chicken strips
Next, prepare your chicken by removing any bone and skin. Then, pat it dry and season it with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
Heat some olive oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Then, add your chicken strips inside the hot pan and cook them for 8-10 minutes. Make sure all the sides are nicely browned.
Once your chicken has been fully cooked, remove it from the heat and set it aside.

Make the Alfredo sauce
Next, melt the butter in the same pan you cooked the chicken in. This will add more savory meaty flavors to the sauce. Once the butter is melted, reduce the heat to medium-low and fry the minced garlic.
Next, add the cream and bring it to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat and allow it to simmer for 5 minutes, or until it starts to thicken. Stir the sauce regularly to prevent it from burning to the pan.
Once it starts to thicken, stir in the grated Parmesan cheese. Keep mixing until all the cheese has melted and your sauce is silky smooth.

Assemble the pasta
Finally, in a large serving dish or pot, mix together the bow tie pasta, Alfredo sauce, and cooked chicken. You can garnish it with fresh herbs or more Parmesan cheese.
Serve your pasta immediately while it is still hot.
