Notes
Serve warm in bowls, accompanied by crusty bread or a green salad. Adjust the thickness of the sauce by using more or less heavy cream. Feel free to add other herbs like rosemary or oregano for extra flavor. Don’t overcook the noodles; they should be al dente since they will continue to cook in the sauce. You can make this dish with turkey instead of chicken or use different pasta shapes.
