We love to have pasta for dinner. D doesn’t like it extra rich and creamy. So I have a few pasta recipes which are with no or very less cream. And I make them on a rotation basis every month.
CHICKEN BROCCOLI PASTA INGREDIENTS
Pasta of your choice – I have used linguine here but you can use any pasta you want.Chicken – I like to grill the chicken for more flavour from the caramelized bits.BroccoliGarlicButter – substitute with olive oil for a lighter versionOregano and ParselyHeavy CreamChicken Stock – You can substitute half of the stock with white wine, for some extra flavourAnd finally a good quality freshly grated Parmesan cheese
HERE ARE A FEW TIPS…
Always season water with enough salt while cooking the pasta.I prefer to cook the pasta until 3/4th is done and let it cook further along with the sauce. So drain the pasta when it is still little underdone and run under cold water to stop the cooking process instantly.Make sure chicken breast is of uniform thickness so that it gets cooked evenly.Blanch broccoli for 2 minutes in hot water and put it in a bowl of ice water. By doing so you can avoid any strong taste of broccoli in the sauce.Always lower the flame while adding cream to avoid it to split.
