Ingredients
- 1 pound spaghetti
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded (rotisserie chicken works well)
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Cook the spaghetti according to package directions. Don’t forget to salt the water. Before draining, reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water.
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
- Pour in the heavy cream and bring it to a gentle simmer. Stir in the softened cream cheese until it’s melted and smooth.
- Add the Parmesan and mozzarella cheeses. Stir constantly until the sauce is creamy and all cheeses are melted.
- Stir in the shredded chicken, cooked spaghetti, and reserved pasta water. Toss to coat everything evenly. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve warm, topped with freshly chopped parsley if desired. Enjoy the creamy, cheesy goodness!
Notes
Use freshly shredded cheese for the best melt and flavor. For a little twist, try adding sautéed spinach or steamed broccoli before serving.
