# Instructions:
01 -
First things first! Bring a big pot of salted water to a boil. This is where I always forget to salt the water, and trust me, it makes a difference! Once it’s boiling, toss in your spaghetti and cook until it's al dente—don’t be like me and let it go mushy!
02 -
In a large skillet, heat some olive oil over medium heat. Add your chicken and cook until golden and cooked through. The smell of chicken sizzling is pure bliss! Just don’t forget to flip it; I’ve had my fair share of one-sided chicken.
03 -
Now, here’s the fun part! Add garlic and sauté it until fragrant—about a minute. Then pour in that glorious heavy cream, and stir in the Parmesan! This is where the magic happens, and the sauce starts turning creamy and dreamy.
04 -
Once your sauce is bubbling, toss in the spinach. Stir until it wilts beautifully! Seriously, it’s like a transformation. I always get excited watching it go from raw to vibrant green.
05 -
Drain your spaghetti and add it to the skillet—oh, this is where you get to play with all that creamy goodness! Toss it around until every noodle is coated. Feel free to throw in extra cheese if you’re feeling indulgent (I often am!).
06 -
Plate it up, sprinkle with more Parmesan, and if you’re feeling fancy, add some cracked pepper! Take a moment to just admire your creation. It should look like a creamy dream and taste like a hug!
# Notes:
01 -
Don’t skip salting your pasta water; it makes all the difference! Be careful not to overcook your pasta-it should still have a little bite. Mix in some cooked broccoli or mushrooms if you’re feeling adventurous!
