Method

Start by cooking the pasta according to the instructions on the package. While the pasta cooks, heat butter in your largest skillet over medium heat.

Once the butter begins to foam, add minced garlic and freshly ground black pepper, about 25 turns of the mill. Sauté for four to five minutes, until the garlic becomes lightly golden and releases a fragrant aroma.

Add the flour to the pan, stirring it in to create a smooth paste. Cook for one to two minutes, then gradually whisk in the chicken stock, ensuring the mixture becomes a silky sauce. Stir in the heavy cream and most of the parmesan cheese.

Continue mixing until everything is fully melted and well incorporated. Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning as desired.

Immediately add the cooked pasta to the pan, along with a generous splash of the pasta cooking water. Stir well, adding more cooking water if necessary, until the sauce reaches a rich, creamy consistency.

Divide the pasta and sauce evenly among four bowls, then sprinkle with the remaining parmesan cheese and chopped parsley before serving.

Slow Cooker Creamy Chicken, Lemon And Basil Pasta

Reduce the heat below the frying pan and add the garlic. Cook for a few seconds to take off the raw tang. Pour in a little of the stock and stir with a wooden spoon to loosen any bits of chicken that are stuck to the bottom. Tip it into the slow cooker, along with the remaining stock. Add the lemon zest and basil and season with salt and pepper, then give everything a good stir.
