Boil water in a pot and add a generous amount of salt for cooking the pasta.

Season the chicken breast generously with salt and black pepper.

Heat olive oil in a skillet and sear the chicken breast until browned.

While the chicken is cooking, prepare the garlic by slicing it.

Once the chicken is almost fully cooked, set it aside to rest.

Add freshly sliced garlic to the skillet and sauté until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

Pour in heavy cream to make the sauce and season lightly with salt.

Cook the fettuccine pasta in the salted boiling water for about 5 minutes.

Scoop the cooked pasta into the cream sauce, adding some pasta water to help thicken the sauce.

Add grated Parmesan cheese to the pasta and sauce, mixing well until the sauce thickens.

Add around 4 tablespoons of butter to enrich the sauce and mix until emulsified.

Season the pasta with freshly cracked black pepper.

Slice the rested chicken breast into strips and add it to the pasta, mixing it in or serving it on top.

Plate the pasta and chicken, finishing with more black pepper and optional truffle oil or additional cheese.
