Quick and Easy to Make

One of the best things about this recipe is how quick and easy it is to prepare. We begin by cooking the fettuccine in boiling salted water until it's tender but still firm to the bite. While the pasta is cooking, we move on to preparing the chicken. Seasoned with salt and freshly ground pepper, the chicken is sautéed in olive oil until it's cooked through, then mixed with sun-dried tomatoes and garlic. The fragrant aroma from the garlic and sun-dried tomatoes fills the air, making it hard to resist.

Next, we add heavy cream, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan, and a little fresh basil. As the cheese melts into the cream, a luxurious sauce begins to form. To finish off the dish, we stir in the cooked fettuccine and top it with a sprinkle of basil and red pepper flakes.

Customize Your Dish

While this recipe includes chicken, feel free to customize it to suit your dietary preferences. You can easily make this dish vegetarian by leaving out the chicken and adding extra sun-dried tomatoes for added flavor. If you prefer another type of protein, try using shrimp or tofu for a delicious twist. No matter how you customize it, the creamy sun-dried tomato sauce is the star of the show!
