Ingredients
- 3 large chicken breasts
- 1 pound penne pasta
- ½ cup butter
- 1 pint heavy cream
- 4 ounces gorgonzola crumbled
- ¼ cup shredded Parmesan
- ½ teaspoon nutmeg
Instructions
- Season chicken with salt and pepper and grill (I used my indoor grill pan). Slice into thin strips.
- Bring water to a boil and add pasta. While pasta is cooking, make the sauce. Melt butter in saucepan, heat to boiling, stirring constantly. Simmer 1 minute being careful not to let the butter burn! Slowly add cream and heat to a low boil to reduce, stirring constantly. Boil for 3 minutes.
- Reduce heat, add gorgonzola, parmesan, and nutmeg. Stir until melted. Serve sauce over noodles and top with chicken.
