Instructions
Step 1: Prep
Adjust rack to middle position and preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
Peel garlic and place in the center of a small piece of foil.
Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
Cinch into a packet.
Step 2: Roast Garlic
Place garlic foil packet on same sheet.
Roast on middle rack until tomatoes have wilted slightly and garlic is softened, 20-25 minutes.
Step 3: Cook Spaghetti
Once water is boiling, add spaghetti to pot.
Cook until al dente, 9-11 minutes.
Reserve 3/4 cup pasta cooking water, then drain.
Keep empty pot handy for step 5.
Step 4: Cook Chicken
While pasta cooks, pat chicken dry with paper towels.
Season with 1 teaspoon Tuscan Heat Spice, salt, and pepper. (You’ll use the rest of the Tuscan Heat Spice in the next step.)
Heat a large drizzle of olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat.
Add chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, 3-5 minutes per side.
Turn off heat; cover to keep warm.
TIP: If your pan doesn’t have a lid, loosely cover with aluminum foil.
Step 5: Make Sauce
Once garlic is done roasting, carefully open foil and mash with a fork.
Melt 1 tablespoon butter in pot used for pasta over medium heat.
Add mashed garlic and remaining Tuscan Heat Spice.
Stir in cream cheese, half the Parmesan (save the rest for serving), 2/3 cup reserved pasta cooking water, and 2 tablespoon butter until melted and combined.
Turn off heat.
Season with salt and pepper.
Step 6: Heat Sauce and Serve
Add drained spaghetti to pot with sauce; toss to thoroughly combine.
TIP: If needed, stir in more reserved cooking water a splash at a time until pasta is coated in a creamy sauce.
Season with salt and pepper.
Transfer chicken to a cutting board.
Divide pasta between bowls.
Slice chicken crosswise and lay over pasta.
Sprinkle with remaining Parmesan and serve.
