For the Pasta

Method
 

Cooking Instructions
  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add fettuccine and cook until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Drain, reserving some pasta water, and set aside.
  2. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Rub chicken with olive oil, season with salt and pepper. Grill for 6-7 minutes on each side until cooked through. Let rest and slice.
  3. Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Pour in heavy cream and simmer for 2-3 minutes until thickened. Stir constantly to avoid boiling.
  5. Gradually add Parmesan cheese to the sauce, stirring until fully melted and smooth. Season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg to taste.
  6. Add cooked fettuccine to the sauce, tossing to coat. Add reserved pasta water if too thick.
  7. Serve pasta topped with grilled chicken slices and garnish with parsley.
