It’s super easy to use and clean.Be sure to give the noodles a stir after adding to the pot and a couple times while cooking to prevent pasta from sticking to the bottom of the pan and each other. For this recipe, you need to use a 4 quart pot or larger with 3 quarts of water and 1 tablespoon of table salt. This will help your noodles to have room to move around and not stick together. Since the noodles remain hot, they will continue to soften which is why it is important to only cook until al dente. Test a noodle and it should feel just so slightly firm when it has reached al dente. Be sure to set a timer for the shorter time suggested on the package. You need that starchy water on the noodles so that the sauce can easily bind to the pasta to create harmony in your dish. Rinsing the pasta takes off the starchy coating. If you tend to forget this step, I recommend scooping out extra and freezing the excess in an ice cube tray to use in your other pasta dishes or even in soups. Use a ladle or a mug with a handle to scoop out your water before draining. Adding the starchy pasta water helps the sauce come together and adhere to the pasta rather than slip off the noodles. Emulsification is the blending of two liquids that would otherwise separate (oil and water). The starches in that water helps emulsify (bind) and thicken your sauce. Reserve a cup of pasta water before draining! Pasta releases starches while cooking, creating a salty starchy water.Remove from the heat and garnish with basil and Parmesan. Mix the pasta and chicken into the sauce, adding additional starchy water if needed. While stirring continuously, bring to a boil and then reduce to low and let simmer until thickened (about 5 minutes). Add the sun dried tomatoes and garlic and cook 30 seconds longer.Īdd the half-and-half, 1/4 cup of starchy pasta water, and Parmesan cheese. Saute the mushrooms until golden brown (about 6 minutes). In the same skillet (no need to clean!), melt the butter over medium heat. Slice just before adding it to the sauce. Season the chicken with salt and pepper and then cook until golden on both sides and cooked through (about 4-5 minutes per side). Heat oil over medium-high heat in the skillet. ![]() While the water is boiling, cook the chicken. Before draining, ladle out 1/2 cup of the starchy pasta water.
