Ingredients
• 250 G pasta (e.g., penne)
• 300 G chicken breast (cubed)
• 2 Tbsp olive oil
• 3 Garlic cloves (finely minced)
• 1 Small onion (finely chopped)
• 1 Cup cooking cream
• ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 Tsp Italian seasoning
• ½ tsp dried oregano
• ½ tsp black pepper
• ½ tsp salt (or to taste)
• ½ cup pasta water
• 1 Tbsp chopped parsley (fresh)
• ½ cup cherry tomatoes (optional)
Instructions
First, bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the pasta in it following the package instructions. Make sure to save ½ cup of pasta water before draining the cooked pasta.
Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the cubed chicken breast and season it with salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning. Sauté the chicken for 5–7 minutes until it is fully cooked and golden on all sides.
Then, add the chopped onion and garlic to the skillet with the chicken and stir for 2–3 minutes until the vegetables are softened. If cherry tomatoes are used, add them to the skillet as well and stir for another minute.
Next, reduce the heat to low, add the cream to the skillet, and stir. Then add Parmesan cheese and oregano to the mixture and cook for 2–3 minutes until the sauce thickens. If the sauce is too thick, dilute it with a few tablespoons of the reserved pasta water.
Finally, add the cooked pasta to the skillet with the creamy sauce and stir well until the pasta is evenly coated. Taste the dish and adjust the seasonings if needed. Then spoon the Italian-style pasta dish onto plates and enjoy its scrumptious flavor along with fresh bread or a green salad.
