Chicken and Mushroom Pasta: Italian Recipe
How to make italian chicken pasta
The main ingredients of this delicious dish are pasta, chicken, mushrooms and cream. This dish is perfect for dinner.
For pasta with chicken in a creamy sauce, you will need the following ingredients:
- 100 g of pasta
- 300 g chicken fillets
- 150 g mushrooms
- 1 small onion
- 50 ml cream (preferably 35% fat)
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 40 g fresh herbs (dill and parsley)
- salt
- pepper
- any seasonings to taste
First of all, you need to boil the pasta. To do this, put dry pasta in boiling salted water. For 100 g of pasta, you need to take 1 liter of water and ½ teaspoon of salt. Depending on the variety and type of pasta, it is boiled for 10 to 30 minutes. Cooking times are usually indicated on the packaging. But to make the pasta in Italian style, they should be removed from the heat a little earlier. Spaghetti should be a little undercooked, which is how it is cooked in Italy. Then the pasta must be discarded in a sieve or colander.
To prevent the finished pasta from sticking together, they must be lightly sprinkled with olive oil.
Fillets and champignons should be washed, dried and cut into small cubes together with onions. Then you need to pour olive oil into the pan, add the chicken and fry for literally 1-2 minutes. Then put mushrooms and onions to the chicken and continue to fry until golden brown, then pour in the preheated cream. They must be warm, otherwise they may curl up. Stir everything well, bring to a boil, reduce heat to low and continue simmering the sauce for another 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Instead of creamy sauce, you can make chicken with mushrooms in sour cream sauce. It will be just as tasty. To prepare it, you need to replace the cream with fat sour cream.
For chicken with mushrooms, it is best to use refined olive oil. You can diversify the recipe by adding grated cheese to the dish. Parmesan is perfect for chicken with mushrooms.
While still hot, put the pasta in a pan with chicken and mushrooms in a creamy or sour cream sauce and mix all the ingredients well. Fresh herbs must be washed and chopped finely. Not letting the chicken and mushroom pasta cool down, it should be laid out on large portioned plates, sprinkled with herbs on top and served immediately.
