Make sure you cook the pasta beforehand! I realized after I made the sauce that I didn’t have the pasta ready and the sauce got a little too thick while I was cooking the pasta.

Very yummy! Careful how much salt you use in the chicken though! Too much salt will make it too salty.

It was great! Make sure to gradually add the chicken broth to the flour so it doesn’t chunk up. Enjoy!
