Personally I think it has a bit too much liquid and is a bit under salted, which one can solve by keeping the bullion amount the same and reducing the water by one cup when making the broth.
I also used protein pasta, no idea if that impacts the water needs

I add chicken, usually use two breasts. Cook as you like, then add at the end (either on top or mixed in, I’ve done both)

Gus ★ 4.0/5

Would love to have this with a protein, for example grilled chicken breast.
Any suggestions as when to add chicken and how much for this amount of pasta?

Delicious recipe! I have to be Gluten-free. This recipe is an excellent one to mask Gluten-free noodles. I made some modifications. Added chicken breast chunks, 2 small ones, perfect amount. Used chicken broth and fresh spinach, about 1/2 a 5 Oz bag, because I had these on hand. I had to add extra broth to get the spinach submerged. Next time, I will hold the spinach until the end, then steam it while the last bit of water evaporates. 10/10 will make again.

I really loved this! The only things I did different way leave out the red pepper flakes, because someone in my family is sensitive to them, and use feta instead of Parmesan. I put out red pepper flakes and chili crisp oil for anyone who wanted to use it on top and it was delicious!

Love love love this recipe. Always a crowd pleaser. And very budget friendly.

Have been wanting to make this recipe for the entire time I've been lurking on Budget Bytes (no joke, I've been skulking around for a decade and kept forgetting this recipe) and it did not disappoint! I did brown some chicken italian sausage in the pot before following the recipe exactly from step 1 onwards, as inspired by some of the comments. This is going into the rotation for sure :)

You'll get a wide variety of reactions to different cultures adapting the cuisine of other cultures.

But goddamn, this is petty as all hell. How much you want to @atides33 is Italian American and not actually Italian?

Parmesan is good, but feta is betta. boyfriend and I agree, skim the parm and go for feta instead.

BUT, this recipe is why I have frozen spinach on hand. It's so easy with pantry staples, it makes a great emergency meal

Tasted great, although it was very soupy by the time the pasta cooked, so I ended up having to drain it a bunch at the end. I used fresh spinach instead of frozen, although I don't think that would be the issue since the water content should be the same. Otherwise followed exactly, and I probably drained around 3 cups of liquid by the end. Tasted great though! Maybe next time I'll just add a bit less broth or drain some of the liquid from the diced tomatoes or something.

garnished with crumbled feta was sure different and good good ...add black olives, peppers, or a Chile, if you like ... but great as is with feta tho ...
