Follow The Directions

01

Step
8 mins

Cook the Pasta: Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil. Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Stir in the trottole pasta and return to a boil. Cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite (about 8 minutes). Drain and transfer to a bowl; set the pot aside.

02

Step
11 mins

Sauté the Chicken: Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet. Add the sliced garlic, dried basil, red pepper flakes, and black pepper. Add the chicken strips and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned (about 10 minutes).

03

Step
7 mins

Prepare the Alfredo Sauce: Melt the butter over medium heat in the reserved pasta pot. Add the cream cheese and stir until smooth and creamy (about 1 minute). Gradually add the 2 cups of milk and the heavy cream, stirring until warm (about 5 minutes). Stir in the shaved Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, continuing to stir and adding more milk as needed to achieve your desired sauce consistency. Stir in the pesto and sun-dried tomatoes.

04

Step
14 mins

Combine and Finish: Stir the cooked chicken and trottole pasta into the Alfredo sauce. Add the shrimp and cook, stirring occasionally, until the shrimp turn pink and are cooked through (6 to 8 minutes).

For an even richer flavor, consider using a combination of Parmesan and Romano cheese.
Freshly grated nutmeg adds a warm, aromatic note to the sauce.
Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes to control the level of spiciness.
Serve immediately with a side of crusty garlic bread to soak up the delicious sauce.
