Salt & black pepper, to taste
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp Italian seasoning
2 tbsp butter
1 tbsp olive oil
For the Pasta:

1 cup heavy cream
¾ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions
1️⃣ Cook the pasta Boil linguine in salted water until al dente. Drain and set aside (reserve ½ cup pasta water).
2️⃣ Cook the chicken Season chicken with salt, pepper, paprika, and Italian seasoning. Heat butter and olive oil in a pan and sear chicken until golden and fully cooked. Remove and set aside.
3️⃣ Make the sauce In the same pan, melt butter and sauté garlic until fragrant (about 30 seconds). Add cream and milk, simmer 2–3 minutes. Stir in Parmesan until smooth and creamy. Season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg if using.
4️⃣ Combine Return chicken to the sauce. Add linguine and toss well. Add a little pasta water if needed to loosen the sauce.

💡 Ashley tip: This goes beautifully with garlic bread and a green salad — just like your cheesy tortellini nights!
