The secret to this ultra-creamy pasta is letting the mozzarella melt gently into the garlic butter sauce. It creates a rich, silky coating that clings to every bowtie while keeping the chicken tender and juicy. A sprinkle of Parmesan at the end adds a savory finish that makes every bite irresistible.
