Instructions

  • In a large kettle, bring water to a rapid boil. Add salt and pasta. Stir and return to a boil.
  • Cook uncovered until just tender, stirring occasionally. About 10-13 minutes.
    Cooking the Pasta
  • While the pasta is cooking, prepare the sauce and chicken. In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter.
  • Add the garlic and cook 1 minute.
  • Add the honey and salt. Stir to combine and bring to a boil. Let it boil a 1-2 minutes.
    Butter, Garlic, Honey Sauce

    Fresh Parsley Added At the End to the Buttery Sauce
  • Add the cooked chicken and warm through on medium-low heat until the pasta is done.
    Cooking the Chicken in the Lemon Garlic Butter Sauce
  • When the pasta is done, I just use a tongs to take the pasta out of the water and place it in the skillet. If the pasta seems a bit dry, add a bit of the pasta water. Mix together with the tongs.
    Adding the Pasta to the Garlic Butter Sauce
  • Add the shredded cheese. Serve.
