(Feel free to customize the protein, pasta, or veggies—this recipe is as flexible as it is delicious.)
Ingredients
For the Sauce:
-
2 tbsp butter
-
1 tbsp olive oil
-
4 cloves garlic, minced
-
1 cup heavy cream
-
1/2 cup chicken broth (or veggie broth)
-
1/2 cup grated Parmesan
-
1 tbsp lemon juice
-
1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
-
Salt & pepper to taste
For the Main Dish:
Choose one:
-
2 cups cooked pasta
-
or 2 chicken breasts (cooked and sliced)
-
or sautéed shrimp
-
or mixed roasted vegetables
Instructions
1. Make the Base
In a skillet, melt butter with olive oil over medium heat. Add garlic and cook until fragrant—about 1 minute. This is where the magic begins.
2. Build the Creamy Goodness
Pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth. Stir well and let it simmer for 3–5 minutes until slightly thickened.
3. Add the Flavor Boosters
Stir in Parmesan, lemon juice, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
The Parmesan melts, the lemon brightens the creaminess, and the herbs tie everything together. This is the moment you’ll want to dip a spoon in “just to taste.”
4. Combine
Add your pasta, chicken, shrimp, or veggies to the skillet. Toss gently until everything is coated in that glorious sauce.
5. Serve Immediately
Top with extra Parmesan, cracked black pepper, and maybe even a sprinkle of fresh parsley.
