Instructions

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook spaghetti according to package directions until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water, then drain.
  2. While pasta cooks, preheat oven to 400°F. Cut tomato into wedges. Place on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil and roast until softened, about 10 minutes.
  3. Season chicken cutlets on both sides with Tuscan Heat Spice. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. Cook chicken until golden and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove and let rest.
  4. In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium. Add minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add cream cheese and 1/4 cup reserved pasta water, stirring until smooth. Stir in Parmesan cheese until melted. If too thick, add more pasta water.
  5. Add drained spaghetti to the skillet and toss to coat in the sauce. Slice chicken and serve over the spaghetti. Top with roasted tomato wedges and extra Parmesan if desired.
  6. Enjoy immediately.

Recipe Tips

For extra flavor, roast the garlic alongside the tomatoes.

Reserve more pasta water than you think you’ll need to adjust sauce consistency.

Let the chicken rest before slicing to keep it juicy.
