I got this recipe out of a magazine years ago and made it. It is supposed to be a vegetarian main dish but I always made it as a side and it is tasty.

I need some help, though. I want to add chicken to it and I am unsure of how to change the ingredients to support it. I was going to cut chicken breast into chunks and cook it in a skillet and add to the pasta. Now, do I cut the amount of pasta in the recipe or do I up the amount of sauce that I am making?

Please, any suggestions are welcome as I am not a cook, I can follow a recipe and that's it, lol.

Thanks :)
 
thanks for the welcome :) so keep the amount of pasta the same and just increase the sauce? Is that what you are saying? I'm not trying to be stupid, just want to get it right :)

Yes, and cooking the chicken before putting it in the pasta and sauce. Would be good with some steamed broccoli in there, too!:)
 
I would cook the chicken breast whole to get some nice browning. Then cut it up and add it. Don't know what your sauce recipe is, but adding a little marsala might be really tasty.;)

Sounds like a nice recipe but I would assume you meant to add tempering the egg yolks before adding them to the hot mix, otherwise they will be scrambled eggs. ;)
