Ingredients
- 8 oz linguine

- 8-10 fresh sage leaves, chopped
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Directions
- Cook the linguine according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

- In the same skillet, add minced garlic and chopped sage leaves. Cook for about 1 minute until fragrant.
- Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the heavy cream to the skillet. Stir well to combine with the garlic and sage. Cook for 2-3 minutes to allow the cream to thicken slightly.
- Add the cooked linguine and grated Parmesan cheese to the skillet. Toss well to coat the linguine with the creamy sauce.
- Add the cooked chicken back to the skillet. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until everything is heated through.
