I made this recipe tonight but made a few changes. I marinated the chicken in balsamic oil salt & pepper. Then I used angel hair pasta because we just like it better. Next time I will add more tomatoes and basil as it just wasn't enough Read More

This recipe was easy that's for sure with only a few ingredients. However I did make quite a few adjustments. I will say if I made this again I would not do it all in one pot. I had to add more water to cook the pasta and once it did cook I had an issue with it sticking to the bottom. I think I would have rather just boiled and drained it as normal. Also I added garlic and olive oil while cooking and stirred in mozzarella as the cheese (turned into a little more of a caprese pasta). I also marinated the chicken prior to cooking. This recipe is a good springboard to start with but I think it could use a little more flavor and rely a little less on the balsamic. Read More

I made this because I had chicken and a box of spaghetti noodles. Loved it! Very easy to make one thing though I had to stir the spaghetti almost constantly but no problem I also added some chili flakes to the chicken I sautéed to give it a kick and my hubbie loved it! Def. will make again! Read More

This isn't good. The mix and balsamic vinegar and the cheese is...awkward. The flavors do not complement each other. I tried it before adding in the cheese and it was ok but with the cheese is just weird. It's easy to make but that's about all the good I can say about it. Read More

This recipe was great. I made a few small changes. I used a veggie barilla pasta which I cooked as normal boiled in water. I set it aside tossed with olive oil to avoid sticking. I then in a separate pan sautéed crushed garlic in olive oil added frozen precooked grilled chicken pieces salt and pepper. Grilled until warmed through. Added balsamic vinegar and tomatoes with a few tablespoons of water. Cooked for 3-4 minutes and added basil sprinkled with fresh Parm. (Didn t have Asiago on hand). Served over the pasta. It was delicious. Read More
