CREAMY CHICKEN AND BACON PASTA

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to boil. Add pasta and cook for time per packet MINUS 2 minutes (finishes cooking in Sauce).
• SCOOP OUT a mugful of pasta cooking water, then drain.
• Meanwhile, cook bacon until golden, drain on paper towels.
• Season chicken on both sides, cook in bacon fat, 2 minutes each side.
• Wipe pan - optional, to keep sauce pretty and white, and for a buttery clean tasting sauce rather than very bacony (Note 3).
• Over medium heat, melt butter. Add garlic and onion, cook for 3 - 4 minutes until onion is light golden and soft.
• Add cream, about 3/4 cup pasta water and parmesan. Stir, then simmer for 2 minutes until it reduces slightly - you don't need to be exact here. Season with salt & pepper.
• Add pasta and toss gently in the sauce for about 1 1/2 minutes. The sauce will thicken and coat the pasta, do this step until you get the sauce consistency you want. If your sauce gets too thick, add a splash of pasta water.
• Toss through bacon and chicken.
• Serve immediately, garnished with parmesan and parsley!

CREAMY CHICKEN AND MUSHROOM TAGLIATELLE

Steps:

• Bring a pot of water to a boil and salt it generously. Cook the pasta al dente according to the instructions on the package. Reserve some pasta water before draining.
• Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a large pan and fry the chicken for 6-7 minutes on medium-high heat until golden and slightly crispy. Remove the chicken bits from the pan with a slotted spoon and set aside.
• Turn the heat down to medium and melt the butter in the same pan. When the butter has melted, add the fresh Portobello mushrooms to the pan and saute them for 3-4 minutes. Next, stir in the rehydrated porcini mushrooms and continue to cook for another minute.
• Add the garlic and rosemary and cook for one minute until fragrant. Turn the heat up, add the marsala, and cook for 1-2 minutes until the alcohol evaporates.
• Lower the heat and stir in the single cream. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens a bit, then add the cream cheese and stir until combined. Add the chicken bits back to the pan.
• Transfer the pasta to the pan and toss it well with the sauce. If the sauce looks too thick, add a bit of pasta water. Add the grated Parmesan, season to taste, and serve immediately, with some extra parmesan on top if you like.

TAGLIATELLE WITH CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Rub the chicken with the oil and sprinkle with the salt and pepper, then place it breast down in a roasting pan and roast for about 1 1/2 hours, or until well browned, turning it over toward the end to brown the breast. It's done when the juices run clear, not pink, when you cut into the thigh. When the chicken's nearly ready, put abundant water on for the pasta, salting it when it boils.
• Take the chicken out of the oven and take the meat off the bone, leaving all that glorious burnished skin on, and cut it into small pieces. I do much of this by just pulling, without a knife, but if you haven't got asbestos hands, use a knife and fork or wait until it is cooler.
• For the sauce, pour all the juices from the roasting pan into a saucepan. Add the rosemary, the drained sultanas and the pine nuts. Begin to simmer the sauce when you are ready to cook the pasta.
• Cook and drain the pasta, and toss it with the sauce, chicken pieces, and parsley in a large warmed bowl.

• Meanwhile, cook the pasta following pack instructions. Reserve 100ml of the pasta water. Toss the pasta in the creamy sauce and enough of the reserved water to loosen. Season with black pepper. Top with the parsley and serve with a green salad.

CREAMY CHICKEN LIVERS WITH TAGLIATELLE

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a frying pan and saute the onions.
• Next, add in the raw chicken livers and leave to cook for about 5-10 minutes until they are nicely browned.
• Add in a couple of twists of pepper and salt, herbs and the courgette. Pour in the white wine and next the double cream to give it it's sauce. Leave for about 20 minutes simmering, as you want the sauce to reduce a bit to make it more flavourful.
• Place the tagliatelle in boiling water usually taking 3-5 minutes to cook. (I sometimes add olive oil in the pasta after it's been cooked just to give it some extra flavour.
• You could add in all kinds of vegetables in this dish, so it means you don't necessarily need a side dish of veggies).
