Ingredients:
8 ounces fettuccine pasta
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced

Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Reduce the heat to medium-low and pour in the heavy cream. Stir gently until heated through.
Gradually sprinkle in the grated Parmesan cheese, stirring continuously, until the sauce is smooth and creamy.

Recipe 2: Classic Beef Lasagna
Ingredients:
1 pound ground beef
1 onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 (24-ounce) jar marinara sauce
1 (15-ounce) container ricotta cheese
1 cup grated mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
1 teaspoon dried oregano
Salt and pepper to taste
9 lasagna noodles, cooked according to package instructions
Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, and cook until softened.
Stir in the marinara sauce, chopped basil, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 10 minutes.
In a mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, half of the grated mozzarella cheese, and half of the grated Parmesan cheese. Mix well.
To assemble the lasagna, spread a thin layer of the meat sauce on the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Place three lasagna noodles on top.
Spread half of the ricotta cheese mixture over the noodles, followed by a layer of meat sauce.
Repeat the layers with remaining noodles, ricotta cheese mixture, and meat sauce.
Sprinkle the remaining grated mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses over the top.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Let the lasagna cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
