Step-by-Step Instructions
- Cook Pasta: Begin by bringing a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil and cook the pasta until al dente, about 10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
- Sauté Chicken: In a skillet, heat olive oil and sauté the chicken with salt and pepper until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and set aside.
- Sauté Garlic: In the same skillet, add garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
- Create Sauce Base: Add crushed tomatoes and let it simmer for about 5 minutes to thicken.
- Add Cream: Slowly stir in heavy cream and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes until creamy.
- Combine Chicken: Return the chicken to the skillet and mix well, allowing it to absorb flavors.
- Merge Pasta: Add the drained pasta to the skillet and toss until well-coated with sauce.
- Add Cheeses: Sprinkle mozzarella and Parmesan cheese over the pasta mixture and stir until melted.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat, garnish with basil and red pepper flakes if desired, and serve hot.

Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. For freezing, leave out fresh basil and cheese until reheating to maintain flavors.
