1-Getting started with Marry Me Chicken Pasta: Begin by cooking 8 ounces of uncooked pasta to al dente, as this forms the perfect base for the sauce.

2-While the pasta boils: Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a skillet over medium heat to kick off the sauce.

3-Next: Whisk in 1/2 tablespoon of flour and cook it for about one minute to thicken the base. Add 3-4 cloves of minced garlic, 1 tablespoon of tomato paste, and 1/3 cup of dry white wine or chicken broth, letting it bubble for a minute to release those flavors.

4-Then: Whisk in 1 cup of heavy or whipping cream, stirring in 1/3 cup of sun-dried tomatoes, 1/2 teaspoon of dried oregano, 1/4 teaspoon of crushed red pepper flakes, and 2 cups of shredded cooked chicken. Let the sauce simmer until it thickens, which takes a few minutes. Mix in 1/3 cup of freshly grated Parmesan cheese and a small handful of fresh basil, seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.

5-Final Touches: Before draining the pasta, reserve some hot pasta water to adjust the sauce’s consistency if needed. Toss the drained pasta into the skillet with the sauce, adding pasta water as required for the right texture. Serve it immediately, perhaps with extra Parmesan on top for that finishing touch. This method ensures the dish stays creamy and flavorful, ready in about 10 minutes prep and 20 minutes cooking.
