Comment recipe 🍋 for this creamy, tangy, pantry-perfect Chicken Piccata Pasta!
This one’s so good, and guess what? I made it using mostly pantry staples and a few of my go-to kitchen tools I never cook without. If you keep these on hand, you’re halfway to dinner any night of the week. 💅

🧂 Melissa Jo’s Must-Have Pantry & Tool List:
	1.	🍋 Lemons – Always keep fresh lemons! Use the zest and juice. They brighten up pasta, dressings, marinades… everything!
	2.	🧀 Microplane/Zester – My secret weapon. Zest citrus, grate cheese, garlic, even chocolate in a pinch.
	3.	🧂 Capers – Briny, salty pops of flavor that make chicken piccata sing.
	4.	🍷 Mini white wine bottles – No open wine bottles hanging out in the fridge. The mini ones are chef’s kiss and just the right amount for cooking!
	5.	🫒 A good finishing olive oil – I used Giada’s olive oil to drizzle over the pasta at the end—don’t cook with the fancy stuff, drizzle it! Makes it silky, rich, and next-level.
	6.	🧂 Worcestershire sauce – Brings that savory umami flavor that makes people go, “What is that?!”
	7.	🌽 Cornstarch – PRO TIP: Mix it with a splash of Worcestershire and stir into your sauce to thicken and flavor at the same time. Total hack. 👩‍🍳

This pasta is pantry magic. You could totally recreate it tonight if you’ve got the goods.
📌 Save this list. 📦 Stock that pantry. 🍝 Make the pasta.
