Recipe: Scarpariello Pasta

Ingredients:

• 1 pound of pasta of your choice
• 1 pound of chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons of capers
• 1 teaspoon of red pepper flakes
• 1 cup of chicken broth
• 1/2 lemon, juiced
• 2 tablespoons of olive oil
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

1. Begin by cooking your pasta according to the package’s instructions. Once cooked, drain and place the pasta in a large mixing bowl.
2. While the pasta is cooking, heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. When the oil is hot, add the chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, usually around 6-8 minutes.
3. Add the minced garlic, capers, and red pepper flakes to the pan and cook for another minute, ensuring that the garlic doesn’t burn.
4. Pour the chicken broth and lemon juice into the pan and stir everything together. Bring it to a boil, and then reduce the heat to low. Allow the sauce to simmer for approximately 5-6 minutes or until it has slightly reduced and thickened.
5. Pour the sauce over the cooked pasta and toss everything together until the pasta is fully coated in the sauce.
6. Add salt and pepper according to your taste preference.
7. Garnish the dish with parsley and serve hot.
