OUSSA


 

1. Cook the Pasta

  1. Cook the rotini pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

2. Cook the Chicken

  1. In a large skillet, heat the butter and olive oil over medium-high heat.

  2. Add the chicken pieces and cook until golden brown and cooked through (about 5-7 minutes). Remove and set aside.

3. Make the Sauce

  1. In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

  2. Pour in the chicken broth and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.

  3. Stir in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer.

  4. Add the grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper, stirring until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth.

4. Combine and Serve

  1. Add the cooked pasta and chicken back to the skillet, tossing to coat everything in the sauce.

  2. Cook for 2-3 minutes until heated through.

  3. Serve hot, garnished with extra Parmesan cheese and fresh parsley if desired.

Tips for Success

  • Don’t Overcook the Pasta: Cook it al dente so it holds up in the sauce.

  • Use Freshly Grated Parmesan: It melts better and has a richer flavor than pre-grated cheese.

  • Add Veggies: Stir in spinach, broccoli, or sun-dried tomatoes for extra flavor and nutrition.

  • Make It Spicy: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a kick.

This dish is perfect for:

  • Weeknight Dinners: Pair with a side salad or garlic bread.
