This chicken pasta is a more casual take on Mediterranean pasta. Instead of seafood, it uses thinly sliced chicken breast, which, like shrimp, cooks in minutes. And the unique flavor of scampi pasta comes from a sauce made with butter, garlic, white wine, and lemon juice. Toss separately fried chicken pieces and cooked capellini (angel hair) pasta into the sauce, sprinkle with grated Parmesan, and enjoy.

Cooking the dish according to the recipe:

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Sprinkle the chicken with salt. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. Fry the chicken in two batches until golden brown but not fully cooked, 2-3 minutes per batch. Transfer to a plate.
Melt 4 tablespoons butter in a skillet. Add the garlic and red pepper flakes and cook until the garlic begins to brown around the edges, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Add the wine, bring to a simmer, and cook until reduced by half, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat.

Meanwhile, cook the pasta until al dente, reserving 1 cup of the cooking water. Add the pasta and 3/4 cup of cooking water to the skillet along with the chicken, lemon zest and juice, and the remaining 4 tablespoons of butter. Return the skillet to medium heat and gently stir the pasta until the butter has melted, adding the remaining 1/4 cup of cooking water if the pasta looks too dry. Remove the skillet from the heat, sprinkle with grated cheese and parsley, and toss before serving.
