Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo

Ingredients
10 ounces pasta
1/2 cup butter
5 cloves garlic, chopped
1 cup heavy cream
1 egg yolk
2 cups freshly grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons dried parsley
1 pound chicken cooked

Directions
1)Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add fettucine pasta and cook according to package instructions. Drain.
2)In a large skillet melt the butter and add the chopped garlic. Cook on low for about 5 minutes and stir often to make sure the garlic does not burn.
3)Pour about a 1/4 cup of the heavy cream into a small bowl. Add the egg yolk, beat together and put aside. Pour the remaining cream into the pan and increase the heat to medium-high. As the cream starts to boil, mix rapidly using a whisk. Slowly add the cream/egg mixture so the egg does not curdle. Continue whisking until well blended.
4)Add 1 cup of the Parmesan cheese and continue to mix the cream. Pour in the remaining Parmesan and the parsley, mix until smooth. Add in chicken and stir. Immediately remove from stove and serve over cooked pasta. Bon appetite!
