Tips:

  • Use a large pot: The pasta will expand as it cooks, so be sure to use a pot that's big enough to accommodate it. A 6-quart pot is a good size for this recipe.
  • Cook the pasta al dente: Al dente means "to the tooth" in Italian, and it refers to the ideal texture for cooked pasta. The pasta should be tender but still have a slight bite to it.
  • Don't overcook the chicken: Chicken breasts can easily become dry and tough if they're overcooked. Cook them over medium heat until they're just cooked through, about 8 minutes per side.
  • Use a flavorful cheese: The cheese you use in this recipe will make a big difference in the flavor of the dish. Use a sharp cheddar, Parmesan, or Asiago cheese for a bold flavor.
  • Serve immediately: This dish is best served immediately after it's made. The pasta will start to absorb the sauce and become mushy if it sits for too long.

Conclusion:

This Sonora chicken pasta is a quick and easy weeknight meal that's sure to please the whole family. It's made with simple ingredients that you probably already have on hand, and it comes together in just 30 minutes.
