  6. Drain the pasta, reserving approximately 1 cup of the starchy cooking water.
  7. Transfer the cooked chicken to a serving platter and tent with foil to keep warm.
  8. Add the drained pasta to the skillet with the chicken cooking liquid.
  9. Toss the pasta gently over low heat, adding reserved pasta water a splash at a time until the desired sauce consistency is reached.
