• Cook the pasta according to directions in a large pot of heavily salted water. 3 minutes before it's al dente, remove 1/2 cup pasta water and reserve for later.

• Add the drained linguine and broccoli, as well as the 1/4 cup reserved pasta water. Continue cooking over medium heat until sauce thickens and pasta cooks all the way through- about 2 minutes. Add the cooked chicken back in.
