- 7While the sauce is cooling, boil your pasta by filling up a large pot of water with salt and bringing it to a boil.
- 8Boil your pasta for 9-12 minutes, depending on how soft you want it, and drain, leaving a little bit of the pasta water.
- 9Mix in your sauce with the pasta and leave it on warm.
- 10For the cutlet, split your chicken breast or pound it thin, then set it aside.
- 11In this order, coat your chicken in flour, then egg, then breadcrumb, then egg, then breadcrumb, and set aside.
- 12In a frying pan, heat 1 cup of neutral oil until 350°F (176 °C).
