To make this alfredo linguine, I started by cooking some linguine noodles according to the directions on the package.
I drained the noodles and set them aside.
I dropped some butter into a large skillet over medium heat.
Once the butter was fully melted I added some minced garlic to the skillet.
I stirred well and continued cooking for a few minutes until the garlic was fragrant.
I added some Italian seasoning to the skillet.
I stirred well and continued cooking for one minute.
I added some heavy cream to the skillet.
I also added some salt and pepper.
I stirred well and brought the liquid to a boil.
Once the liquid was boiling I reduced heat to medium-low and left the cream to simmer and thicken, stirring occasionally, for about eight minutes.
Then I added some shredded rotisserie chicken to the skillet.
I stirred until all of the chicken was coated in the cream sauce.
I added the cooked linguine to the skillet.
I tossed it until all of the noodles were coated in sauce.
I continued cooking for a couple minutes to allow the pasta and chicken to heat up.
Then I removed the skillet from the heat and added some shredded parmesan.
I stirred just until the cheese was melted.
I sprinkled some fresh chopped parsley on top.
Then the creamy chicken alfredo pasta was ready to serve.
