CREAMY JERK PASTA WITH CHICKEN AND PEAS

Steps:

• While the pasta is cooking, make the sauce:.
• Heat 1 Tbsp oil in a large skillet over med-high heat.
• Sprinkle the chicken cubes with salt and pepper, then saute them in the oil until browned on the outside. Take the pan off the heat and remove the chicken. Don't worry if it is not cooked all the way through.
• Add 1 Tbsp to the pan and turn the heat to med-low.
• Add the garlic and cook for 30 sec -- do not allow it to brown.
• Add the chicken broth, the cream cheese, the cream and the jerk sauce. Simmer for about 5 minutes, until the cream cheese melts and the sauce thickens slightly. Taste, and add more jerk sauce if you want more spice.
• Add the chicken, and simmer for 1 more minute, until all chicken is cooked through.
• Add spinach and frozen peas, and cook for 30 seconds to 1 minute, until peas are warm.
• By now the pasta should be cooked. Do not drain the pasta. Rather, use tongs to remove it from the water and put it, still dripping, into the sauce. (The drips of pasta water are starchy and help thicken the sauce.).
• Turn off the heat under the sauce.
• Toss, adding salt and pepper to taste. If using parmesan, add it now, and toss.
• Serve!

CARIBBEAN JERK PASTA

Steps:

• FOR MEAT MIXTURE.
• Heat oil in large saucepan over medium heat. Add garlic, chicken, onion, bell pepper, seasonings, and salt and pepper. Saute for 2 minutes.
• Increase heat to medium-high. Add 2 tablespoons butter. Saute for approximately 10 minutes. Add the mushrooms. Saute for 2 minutes. The meat should be nicely browned and the onions soft. Remove mixture and set aside.
• FOR SAUCE.
• Using the same saucepan, reduce heat to low. Combine creams and water in a measuring cup large enough to hold it all. When the pan has cooled, melt 3 tablespoons butter.
• *Important!* This is the longest process, but worth the patience (the sauce should not be runny at all. If it is, slowly add more flour until it thickens to the consistency of alfredo sauce).
• Add a little bit of flour, stirring constantly until thickened. Pour in a little bit of the cream/water, stirring constantly. Continue alternating between the flour and liquid at a slow pace to ensure no lumps. After depleting the flour and liquid, add the garlic salt and hot sauce. Continue to stir and simmer for 1 minute. Add chicken mixture and green onions, mix thoroughly, and allow to simmer while making the pasta, stirring periodically.
• FOR PASTA.
• Cook pasta according to package. Drain. Add chicken/sauce mixture. Mix thoroughly. Serve with some parmesan cheese sprinkled on top if desired. Enjoy!
