We loved this - very easy and delicious. The only change I made was to use evaporated skim milk since I had that on hand. Yummy. Can't wait to eat the leftovers today!

I did not care for this recipe very much. II tried adding a bit af salt to add flavor, and also some additional flour as otherwise it was very watery with only 1 tsp of flour. I wonder if it should be 1 Tablespoon? Anyway, I would not make it again.

My husband I loved this meal. I typed in Linguine and Chicken because that is what I had at home and found this recipe. My husband must have said it was so good about 10 times. I will keep this recipe to use again in the future.

Started the pasta but the rest of the preparation took longer than expected. The pasta sat done for about 15 minutes before the rest of the sauce was done. The consistency was thicker than expected. It looked like it was going to be soupy but when the parmesan cheese was added it thickened up more than expected. The flavor was OK. We would change this a lot if we made it again.
