Share:
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 onion sliced
- 100 g mushrooms sliced
- 400 g chicken thigh cut into small chunks, fillets, no skin or bones
- 2 cloves garlic crushed or grated
- 150 ml crème fraîche (or cream)
- 300 g pasta I used spirals, any shape
- 100 g broccoli cut into small florets
- 100 g sweetcorn (tinned or frozen)
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Place the olive oil and sliced onion in a wide, deep saucepan and fry gently for 3 minutes with the lid on.
- Turn the heat up and add the mushrooms and chicken pieces. Fry for a further 3 minutes to brown everything a little.
- Add the garlic and fry gently for 30 seconds, then add the crème fraiche and bring to the boil.
- Turn the heat down and allow the sauce to simmer gently for 7-10 minutes until the chicken is properly cooked through.
- Meanwhile cook the pasta according to packet instructions / your own personal preferences. 3 minutes before the pasta is cooked, add the broccoli florets to the pasta water.
- When the pasta and broccoli is done, drain and add to the crème fraiche sauce. Add in the sweetcorn, salt and pepper. Stir everything together and serve.
Notes
- To turn this into a pasta bake the next day, put the pasta and sauce in an ovenproof dish and sprinkle over some cheddar cheese and breadcrumbs – bake at 180C (160C fan / gas mark 4 / 350F) for about 30 minutes or until brown on the top and bubbling.
- Please note, this recipe creates a pasta sauce in the Italian style, where the sauce just clings to the pasta. If you prefer a more 'saucy' pasta sauce, you might want to double up on the crème fraiche.
- Not suitable for freezing.
