Preparazione

1. 1

   Season chicken with garlic, green chilli and salt and set aside. Bring water to a boil in a large saucepan, add a generous amount of salt and pasta. Boil pasta but it should be barely cooked through. It should be firm.

2. 2

   While the pasta is cooking, heat two tablespoons oil in a pan and put in the chicken pieces. Cook on both sides and remove from the pan when it is barely cooked.

3. 3

   In the same pan, put in another two tablespoons oil and the other minced garlic. Stir till it fragrant, add the white wine and chicken and cook for three to five minutes.

4. 4

   Transfer the partially cooked pasta from the boiling water into the pan with the chicken. Add about 1/4 cup of the pasta water into the pan. This will finish cooking the pasta and form a thick sauce coating the pasta.
