Frequently Asked Questions:
Can I use another type of pasta for this dish?
Yes, you can substitute angel hair with other types of pasta, such as spaghetti, fettuccine, or linguine. Just be sure to adjust the cooking time depending on the pasta you choose and cook it al dente for the best texture.
What type of white wine should I use in the sauce?
Choose a dry white wine that you like to drink, such as Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Gris or Chardonnay. Avoid using overly sweet or dessert wines, as they can make the sauce too sweet and unbalanced. If you’d rather not use wine, you can substitute with extra chicken broth and a little white wine vinegar for acidity.
Can I add other ingredients or vegetables to this dish?
Absolutely! You can customize Italian Pasta with Chicken and Scampi by adding your favorite ingredients, such as sautéed mushrooms, cherry tomatoes, capers or olives. You can also add vegetables like spinach, peppers or asparagus. Be sure to adjust the cooking time of any added ingredients to ensure they are cooked through.
