Brown the Ground Chicken: Add the ground chicken to the skillet. Use a wooden spoon to break it up as it cooks. Cook until it is no longer pink and is slightly browned.

Cook the Fettuccine: While the sauce is simmering, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the fettuccine and cook according to the package directions until al dente. Drain thoroughly, saving a splash of cooking water if needed.

Combine and Serve: Toss the cooked fettuccine directly into the skillet with the sauce. Use tongs to toss it well, coating every single strand. Serve immediately, topped with freshly grated Parmesan cheese and extra fresh basil if desired.
