Expert Tips for Perfect Cowboy Butter Pasta
Chicken Selection: Cut chicken evenly for consistent cooking - uneven pieces will result in some overcooked sections.
Butter Patience: Don't let garlic burn in butter - medium heat prevents bitter flavors from developing.
Pasta Quality: Use good quality linguine that holds sauce well without becoming mushy or sticky.
Temperature Control: Reserve pasta water for sauce consistency - starchy water helps bind everything together.
Assembly Order: Work quickly once pasta is cooked to prevent cooling and maintain optimal texture.
Serving Tip: Pasta tastes best when served immediately while butter is melted and chicken is warm.
