  • 1 package LC Fettuccine Pasta Noodles
  • 2 Tablespoons butter
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Method:

  • Cook the LC Fettuccine Pasta Noodles according to package directions.
  • Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat on the stove.
  • Add the chicken to the skillet, and saute until almost cooked through.
  • Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside to cool.
  • In the same pan, heat the butter over medium heat.
  • Add the garlic and saute until it is soft, but not burnt.
  • Add the pumpkin puree, heavy whipping cream and nutmeg. Stir and let it simmer until slightly thickened.
  • Meanwhile, cut the cooked chicken into bite sized pieces and add to the sauce mixture, along with any accumulated juices.
  • Take the pan off the heat and add the grated Parmesan cheese and stir to combine until melted.
  • Gently toss the cooked LC Fettuccine Pasta Noodles into the pan and stir to combine.
