Summer pasta

Yet another entry this week, I am getting a little bit proud of myself here! ;-)
Talking to a friend after swimming today, I remembered this little recipe for a nice summer pasta.






What you need:

• 1 chicken breast, diced (for a vegetarian version leave out)
• 2 carrots, cut into fine stripes (use a peeler)
• 1 courgette, cut the same way
• 1 tub of single cream (Schlagsahne)
• chicken stock cube (or vegetable)
• spaghetti or fettucine
• pepper, salt, 1 tsp lemon juice

How to prepare:

• cook the pasta in salted water al dente
• fry the chicken in a little bit of olive oil in a pan
• once browned, add the vegetables, stir through and add the stock cube
• add the cream, pepper and salt to taste
• bring to boil and simmer for about 5 mins, there should still be some crunch to the carrots
• add the pasta directly from the water (the water that comes with it adds to the dish)
• add lemon juice and stir through again
• serve with some basil on top, parmesan cheese is good as well

 Enjoy!
