2. As soon as you see the Water simmering, add salt according to taste, and keep on boiling till the bubble start occurring

4. Take a non-stick pan and put it on low flame. Put the Butter on it and let it melt.
5. Heat the Butter and add the boiled Chicken to it. This way, Chicken would absorb the Butter and be cooked in it.
6. Sauté the Chicken mixture and add Salt and Black Pepper to taste the Pan. Mix this mixture well. Salt and Black Pepper must be added according to taste not to spoil the Dish.

11. The next step is to slowly add Cream and mix the mixture until the colour of the entire Dish turns to a light brown.
12. Keep an eye on the Pasta. The Pasta has been softened and cooked nicely in the boiling Water.
13. Turn the flame off and pick up the Pan and empty all the Water from it and keep the Pasta in a different bowl for it to cool down a bit. This way, the structural integrity of the Pasta is maintained from falling and at the same time making it softer.
14. The Chicken mixture has been cooked to a light brown, and it is the prime time to add the Pasta which was boiled in the Water. Add the Pasta and stir lightly
