Ingredients
- 1/2 pound spaghetti
- 1/2 cup pasta cooking water reserved
- 2 tablespoons butter salted
- 1/4 cup shallot finely diced
- 1/2 cup white wine for cooking
- 3/4 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup Parmesan Cheese
- 1/2 tablespoon lemon use as much or as little as you'd like, zest
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- 1 1/2 cups chicken breast with skin removed, shredded rotisserie
Instructions
- Bring large pot of water to boil. Cook spaghetti according to pasta directions and cook until al dente. Remove about 1/2 cup of cooking liquid and save for later. Drain pasta and set aside.
- For the sauce, place a large, nonstick skillet over medium heat. Melt butter and saute shallots until browned. This should take 2-3 minutes. The browned shallots give amazing flavor to the overall dish, so don't skip this step.
- Deglaze the pan with the white wine and reduce down by at least half. Pour in the heavy cream, parmesan cheese, lemon zest, salt and pepper. Stir to create a smooth cream sauce. Once the cheese has completely melted, toss with pasta and shredded chicken. Feel free to pour in a little pasta water to get the sauce to the desired consistency. You might not need the full amount and, depending on preference, you might not need to use it at all.
- Divide pasta between serving dishes and top with parsley and thin lemon slices. Serve immediately.
