Garlic Parmesan Cream Sauce Over Pasta Recipes

Steps:

• Cook pasta according to directions.
• When pasta is half way done, start with cream sauce in separate pot.
• Add butter, olive oil and garlic and saute on med-low heat until butter is melted, then add red pepper flakes and saute.
• Mix in flour until combined.
• Add milk and chicken broth, bring to a boil, lower heat and stir until thickened.
• Add parmesan and stir until melted.
• Serve over pasta, and top with green onions.
• Option: Add cooked, diced chicken.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large, deep skillet. Add chicken and cook until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 7 to 8 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove chicken and cut into small chunks.
• Add remaining oil, butter, and garlic to the skillet and begin cooking over low heat. Add cilantro and basil and stir to keep the mixture moving. Slowly add cooked chicken, Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, and red pepper. Cook, stirring often to keep the cheese from burning, for about 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add gemelli and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes.
• Drain pasta and return to the pot. Pour in sauce and toss to coat.
