Wash and chop the vegetables into bite-sized pieces, then toss them with olive oil, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper for extra flavor. This step ensures they roast evenly and come out tender with a slight char in about 15 to 20 minutes.
2-Next, season the chicken strips with paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and sear the chicken for 5 to 7 minutes until it’s fully cooked and golden. While the chicken rests, focus on the sauce by melting butter in a pan and cooking the minced garlic until it smells amazing. Add heavy cream and chicken broth, letting it simmer before stirring in the mozzarella and parmesan cheeses until smooth and creamy.
3-Don’t forget the pasta cook 300 grams of spaghetti according to the package until it’s al dente for the perfect bite. Once everything is ready, combine the cooked spaghetti with the sauce, roasted vegetables, and chicken in a large bowl. Toss gently to coat everything evenly, then finish with chili flakes, salt, pepper, and fresh parsley for garnish.
