Step 1

Cook the pasta following the instructions on the box. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water before draining it.

Step 2

Over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the garlic and stir to toast it for about a minute, ensuring it doesn’t burn.

Step 3

Pour in the half & half (or cream) and milk and stir constantly. Add the grated cheese, salt, pepper, and nutmeg (if using) and combine. Reduce the heat and continue cooking the Alfredo sauce for about 5 minutes.

Step 4

Add the cooked chicken to the sauce and stir to coat.

Step 5

To the chicken and Alfredo sauce, add the cooked pasta and toss to combine. If your sauce needs a little thinning out, add a little pasta water and stir.

Step 6

Serve the pasta with additional parmesan cheese on top.
