  • 1 lb Twisted pasta (fusilli) or penne, rotini
  • 3 tbsp Unsalted butter, divided
  • 4–5 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 1½ cups Heavy cream
  • ½ cup Chicken broth
  • 1 cup Parmesan cheese, freshly grated
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning, divided
  • ¼ tsp Red pepper flakes, optional
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish

Instructions

Deglaze with chicken broth, scraping browned bits from the pan. Stir in heavy cream and remaining Italian seasoning; simmer 2–3 minutes. Reduce heat to low; gradually whisk in Parmesan until smooth. Avoid boiling after adding cheese.
