Chicken Piccata Pasta Recipe

I got to make this recipe for my extended family last night and I was happy with the result of it. I can't make this with just my little family, they won't eat it. But, I love it. Although, I noticed some of them actually ate some. Hmmm. I'm thankful for special occasions that allow me to cook this and many other recipes that I normally can't make. Picky eaters, I'm cursed, but blessed.
