# Zubereitung:
01 - Cook pasta in large pot of salted boiling water according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and reserve 1/2 cup pasta water. Set pasta aside.

03 - In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sliced red bell pepper. Sauté for 2 to 3 minutes until fragrant and slightly softened.
04 - Pour heavy cream, sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, and lime juice into the skillet. Stir well and bring to gentle simmer.
05 - Return cooked chicken to the pan and simmer for 2 to 3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.

07 - Transfer to serving dishes and garnish with spring onions, cilantro, and sesame seeds if desired. Serve immediately while hot.
