4 sprigs fresh rosemary (finely chopped)
4 chicken breast fillets (halved horizontally)
2 tbsp olive oil
1 cup chicken stock/wine
3 cloves garlic (finely chopped)

1-2 tbsp lemon juice (fresh)

500 g (1lb) penne pasta

Steps:

  • Remove the rosemary leaves from the stalks and finely chop.

CREAMY CHICKPEA PASTA WITH SPINACH AND ROSEMARY



Creamy Chickpea Pasta With Spinach and Rosemary image

Luxurious and hearty, cheap and easy, this vegetarian pasta uses mostly pantry staples, requiring just a few fresh ingredients, like baby spinach, rosemary and heavy cream. Canned chickpeas form the foundation of the dish: They're cooked until crisp and caramelized. Half are then saved as a garnish, while the rest are simmered until they break down and thicken the sauce. You can swap out your greens or beans, and if you want to experiment with flavor, raid your spice cabinet: Ground coriander, toasted fennel seeds, coarsely crumbled pink peppercorns or a sprinkle of smoked paprika perk up the dish.

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

Kosher salt
1/4 cup olive oil
1 (14-ounce) can chickpeas, rinsed and drained
2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh rosemary, plus more for garnish
1/2 teaspoon Aleppo pepper, or 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon red-pepper flakes (optional)
Black pepper
1 large shallot, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 cup heavy cream
1 (6-ounce) bag baby spinach
12 ounces spaghetti or bucatini
1/2 cup finely grated Parmesan
Lemon wedges, for serving

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high.
  • In a wide, deep skillet, heat the oil over medium-high. Add the chickpeas, rosemary and Aleppo pepper, if using. Season generously with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until chickpeas start to caramelize at their edges and pop, 5 to 7 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer about half the chickpeas to a bowl. Reserve for garnish.
  • Reduce the heat to medium, add the shallots and garlic to the skillet, and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until shallots are softened, about 3 minutes. Add the heavy cream and cook until slightly thickened, about 3 minutes. Turn off the heat, stir in the spinach and season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Add the pasta to the boiling water and reduce the heat to medium. Cook the pasta until a couple minutes short of al dente according to package instructions, about 5 minutes. Do not drain the pasta, but using tongs, transfer the pasta directly from the pot to the spinach and cream sauce. Add 1 cup pasta cooking water and the Parmesan, and cook over medium-high, stirring vigorously with the tongs, until the sauce is thickened and the noodles are al dente, about 2 minutes. Add a splash of pasta water to loosen sauce, if needed.
  • Transfer to bowls, and top with reserved chickpeas, rosemary and black pepper. Serve immediately, with lemon wedges for squeezing on top.

CREAMY PASTA WITH ROSEMARY CHICKEN



Creamy Pasta With Rosemary Chicken image

A delicious, creamy pasta dish that is simple to make despite the long directions. The base is thin pasta coated with a creamy garlic-butter sauce. Add to that tender chunks of chicken that have been marinated in olive oil and rosemary, then sautéed until golden. This recipe is the perfect size for 2, but can be easily multiplied to serve guests. If you multi-task well, this can be a 30 minute recipe (not including marination time) in which you begin sautéeing the chicken, then cook the sauce and boil the pasta all at the same time.

Time 2h45m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 23

2 boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch strips
1 tablespoon dried rosemary
1/8 cup water
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
salt and pepper
2/3 cup flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon italian seasoning (I simply use oregano)
extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon garlic, minced (which is 2-3 cloves, depending on how much you like garlic)
2 tablespoons flour
1/3 cup apple juice
3/4 cup half-and-half (or another cream, heavy or whipping is fine)
1/3 cup parmesan cheese, grated (or another sharp cheese like kasseri or an aged white cheddar)
1/3 cup tomatoes, diced (optional, we usually prefer the sauce without)
1 tablespoon parsley, finely chopped
salt
black pepper
garlic powder (optional)
1/3 lb pasta (long and thin, spaghetti, fetuccine, linguine etc)

Steps:

  • CHICKEN:
  • Heat the rosemary in 1/8 cup water by microwave or stove to draw out the taste.
  • Mix rosemary with 1/4 cup olive oil, and add salt and pepper.
  • Marinate the chicken slices in this rosemary-olive oil mixture for at least 1 hour, up to 24 hours. Do not rinse or drain the marinade - it's not much liquid to begin with.
  • When you're ready to prepare the meal, begin heating 1/3 inch of olive oil in a large skillet or pot.
  • Meanwhile, combine the flour, salt, pepper, and italian seasoning, and mix this in with the marinated chicken so that the pieces become slightly coated with flour. They do not need to be dry or perfectly dredged.
  • When the oil is hot, add all of the chicken pieces. They do not need to be in a single layer.
  • Sauté them on high heat, stirring them once the bottom layer becomes golden. They will not become totally golden or browned, but each piece should have golden edges and be fully cooked.
  • SAUCE:.
  • Heat 1 tbs. butter and 2 tbs. olive oil in a saucepan.
  • Sauté the minced garlic until golden, not browned.
  • Stir in the flour and mix well.
  • Add in the rest of the sauce ingredients (apple juice, cream, parmesan, tomatoes, parsley).
  • Let the sauce bubble and thicken for a short time, then turn down the heat.
  • Season to taste with salt and black pepper, and garlic powder if desired.
  • If desired, you can thin and increase the sauce by adding in more cream.
  • PASTA: cook fully, according to package directions - as firm or soft as you like. Then drain the cooked pasta.
  • SERVING: when the chicken, sauce, and pasta are all cooked, mix the pasta with the sauce so that it's coated.
  • Stir in the chicken.
  • Serve with plain steamed broccoli and carrots, or any other vegetables you enjoy.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients prepped and measured. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling.
  • Cook the Chicken Properly: To ensure that the chicken is cooked through, use a meat thermometer to check that it has reached an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  • Use Fresh Herbs: Fresh rosemary adds a lovely flavor to this dish. If you don't have fresh rosemary, you can use 1 teaspoon of dried rosemary.
  • Don't Overcook the Pasta: Cook the pasta according to the package instructions, but be careful not to overcook it. Al dente pasta is slightly firm to the bite.
  • Add the Cream and Parmesan at the End: Adding the cream and Parmesan cheese at the end of the cooking process will help prevent them from curdling.
  • Serve Immediately: This dish is best served immediately after it is made. The pasta will start to absorb the sauce and become mushy if it sits for too long.

Conclusion:

This creamy pasta with rosemary chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. The combination of tender chicken, creamy sauce, and flavorful rosemary makes this dish a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy pasta recipe, give this one a try. You won't be disappointed!
