Pasta with Cheese Sauce and Chicken strips

Leftovers to shine!!

I had 4 strips of chicken inner filets and a piece of Montagnolo blue cheese. And only lunch break time at home to get something to eat. I love a challenge.

Fettuccine take a while to cook. That is the time to prep the chicken strips and make the sauce.

It worked well and the sauce was ready sitting on the hob and waiting for the pasta.

That is the way a good pasta dish should work. Never let the cooked pasta sit around to wait for the sauce. Clumpy pasta is bad.

Recipe for 1:

100 g fettuccine pasta, salt

1 tbsp olive oil, 2 shallots, 3 cloves of garlic

4 chicken inner filets, about 70 g

100 ml double cream, 3 tbsp white wine, 3 tbsp pasta water, 1/2 tsp fresh veg stock paste, salt and pepper

50 g Montagnolo blue cheese, chives

Cook the pasta in salted water.

Chop shallots and garlic and toss it in oil in a pan. After 3 min add the seasoned chicken filets. Let them take color for 4 min. 

Pour in wine and cream and cook 2 more min. Take the chicken out and toss in the cheese to melt. Add pasta water.

Drain the pasta and mix it with the sauce. Chop chives and get all on a deep plate. Put the chicken strips on top.
