For an even richer sauce, use heavy cream instead of half-and-half. Add a squeeze of lemon juice to the finished dish for a bright, citrusy flavor. If you don’t have cooked chicken on hand, rotisserie chicken works perfectly. Freshly grated Parmesan cheese will melt more smoothly into the sauce. To make this dish vegetarian, simply omit the chicken.

Apr 7, 2025The sauce was a little too thick for my liking, so I added a splash of pasta water to thin it out. It worked perfectly!
