Instructions

🎙️ Cook with voice coach

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut the top off the head of Roasted Garlic, drizzle with Olive oil, wrap in foil, and roast for 45-60 minutes, or until soft and golden.
While garlic roasts, season Chicken with Italian seasoning, Salt, and Pepper.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook Chicken until browned and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes per side. Set aside and slice.
Cook Farfalle pasta according to package directions. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water before draining.
While pasta cooks, prepare the Sauce. Melt Butter in the same skillet. Add minced Garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add Heavy cream and Chicken broth to the skillet. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Squeeze the roasted Roasted Garlic cloves into the Sauce. Stir to combine.
Stir in Parmesan cheese, Lemon juice, and Red pepper flakes. Season with Salt and Pepper to taste.
Add cooked pasta and sliced Chicken to the Sauce. Toss to coat, adding reserved pasta water as needed to create a creamy consistency.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve immediately.
