PASTA WITH CHICKEN IN A LIGHT WHITE WINE AND FRESH HERB SAUCE
This is a fresh, light meal that is great for the warmer times of year. The sauce is not thick or heavy but coats the pasta for an even flavour. The choice of herbs here is merely what I have found to work well but please adjust to your family's tastes! The herbs should be fresh though- dried herbs will not give the same result. The fresh basil really brings out the flavours in this dish. UPDATE: In light of a review, I have tried this dish again and increased the liquid ingredients in the recipe to provide more sauce. It is important in this recipe to include the stock cube as there is something in it that thickens the sauce. If you must leave it out, add an alternative thickening agent.

Steps:
- Heat the oil in a skillet and add the chicken, red onion and garlic. Cook for 10 minutes, stirring frequently, until the chicken is cooked through.
- Start to cook the pasta according to the instructions on the packet (if using fresh pasta, wait a while as it takes less time to cook).
- Pour the white wine into the skillet with the chicken, bring to the boil and simmer until the liquid is reduced by about half. Do not reduce it for too long or there will not be enough sauce.
- Stir in the mascarpone cheese and fresh herbs. Crumble in the half stock cube.
- Heat the sauce through gently for a few minutes but do not boil.
- Drain the pasta and spoon the sauce over it in the pan. Toss to coat the pasta.

ITALIAN HERB AND CHEESE CHICKEN PASTA
I was craving something creamy with pasta so I was like "humm what would go good??" I saw the Philly cooking cream and was like O.O "this could be potentially yummy!"

Steps:
- 1. Cut the chicken breasts into small cubes and put into a large skillet with enough olive oil to coat the bottom of the pan.
- 2. Sear off the chicken breast chunks completely and turn the heat down to medium-low. In a large pot, boil the pasta you chose until al-dente. (Wagon Wheels are good...but penne pasta gives it a more pleasant texture)
- 3. Chop the onion and peppers up into small pieces along with the celery and put into the pan with the chicken and GENTALY HEAT them up (you don't want the vegetables to wilt or they lose their crunch.
- 4. Add the Philly Cooking Cream and pasta to the mix and blend well until the vegetables are coated.
- 5. Serve as soon as possible with garlic bread or stand alone!!
Tips:
- Use fresh herbs for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but use half the amount called for in the recipe.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the chicken. If you do, the chicken will steam instead of brown.
- Cook the chicken until it is cooked through but not overcooked. Overcooked chicken will be dry and tough.
- Add the pasta to the pan with the chicken and herbs and cook until the pasta is al dente. Al dente pasta is cooked through but still has a slight bite to it.
- Stir in the Parmesan cheese and butter at the end of cooking. This will create a creamy, flavorful sauce.
- Serve the pasta immediately, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
Conclusion:
This herb and chicken pasta is a quick and easy weeknight meal that is packed with flavor. The combination of fresh herbs, chicken, and Parmesan cheese makes for a delicious and satisfying dish. This pasta is also versatile and can be easily adapted to your liking. For example, you can add different vegetables, such as broccoli or zucchini, or you can use a different type of cheese, such as mozzarella or cheddar. You can also adjust the amount of spice in the dish by adding more or less red pepper flakes.
