Heat oven to 350 degrees.
Cook the pasta just until al dente. Toss pasta with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
Melt butter in a large sauté pan over medium-low heat. Add garlic, flour, and Italian seasoning and cook for 1 minute, stirring frequently. Do not allow garlic to brown!
Whisk in heavy cream and half and half until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally for a few minutes until it thickens. Don’t let it come to a simmer or boil.
Stir in cream cheese and Parmesan cheese until melted. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Add cooked pasta and shredded chicken. Toss to coat everything evenly. Cook until everything is warmed through. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Transfer to an oven-safe dish like this 9×13 white baking dish or this enameled cast iron pan and top pasta with shredded mozzarella cheese. Cover and bake for about 5-10 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the pasta is warmed through.
Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and enjoy!
