#### **Instructions**

1. **Cook the Pasta**
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

2. **Prepare the Sauce**
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Slowly whisk in the Parmesan cheese until the sauce is smooth.

3. **Combine Everything**
Add the shredded chicken, cooked pasta, Italian seasoning, and salt and pepper to the skillet. Stir until everything is evenly coated in the creamy sauce.

4. **Assemble and Bake**
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Transfer the pasta mixture to a greased 9×13-inch baking dish. Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese evenly over the top.

5. **Bake to Perfection**
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is golden and bubbly.

6. **Serve and Enjoy**
Garnish with chopped parsley and serve immediately. Watch your family dig in with delight!
