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
