Cottage cheese dip

Add cooked pasta to the sauce and toss until fully coated. Season with salt, pepper, and chili flakes if desired.

Top with garlic butter chicken bites and sprinkle with fresh parsley.

Variations

Use shrimp or salmon instead of chicken for a seafood twist.

Add spinach or sun-dried tomatoes for extra flavor and color.

Replace heavy cream with half-and-half for a lighter version.

Use whole wheat or gluten-free pasta if preferred.

Tips

Cut chicken into even-sized cubes for even cooking.

Let the garlic cook gently to avoid burning.

For extra flavor, sprinkle a little lemon zest or squeeze of lemon juice before serving.

If sauce thickens too much, add a splash of pasta water to loosen it.
