Cooking Instructions
  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the bowtie pasta and cook until al dente, about 10–12 minutes. Drain and set aside.
  2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Season chicken with salt and pepper, and sauté for about 7–8 minutes until golden and cooked through at 165°F.
  3. Add diced roasted red pepper and minced garlic to the skillet. Stir and sauté for an additional 2 minutes until garlic is fragrant.
  4. Reduce heat to low, pour in heavy cream, and let it simmer for 2–3 minutes until the sauce starts to thicken.
  5. Gradually add grated Parmesan cheese, stirring until melted and smooth. Mix in red pepper flakes and dried Italian seasoning.
  6. Add cooked bowtie pasta to the skillet and toss to coat in the sauce, chicken, and roasted red pepper.
  7. Remove from heat and fold in fresh basil. Serve hot garnished with additional Parmesan cheese if desired.
