Ingredients
- 2 skinless chicken breasts
- 2 clove garlic
- 40 g butter
- 60 g tasty cheese
- 40 g cornflour
- 1 tsp. freshly chopped parsley (could use dried as well)
- cracked black pepper, a few good grindings
- 1 tbsp. thermomade veggie stock
- 450 g milk
- 400 mL pure cream
- 100 g parmesan cheese, diced roughly
- 500 g fettuccine pasta
Instructions
- First, you need to cook the chicken. Fill your thermie jug with enough water to cover the blades. Roughly chop your chicken and place in the steaming basket. Steam for approximately 15 minutes/steaming temp/speed 2 (varoma for those with a thermomix).
- Check the chicken is cooked (if not cook for a further 5 minutes). Tip out water and put chicken into the jug. Shred the chicken apart for 2-3 seconds/reverse speed 4. Set this aside to use later. No need to wash the jug.
- Chop garlic for 3 seconds/speed 6. Scrape down sides and add butter. Cook for 2 minutes/100ºC/speed 2.
- Add cheese and blitz 5 seconds/speed 7.
- Add everything else (except pasta) and cook 12 minutes/80ºC/speed 4.
- While your sauce is cooking, boil a large pot of water and cook your pasta as per packet instructions (if your sauce finishes cooking, don't worry, just leave it to rest and thicken up).
- Once your pasta is cooked, drain and rinse it. Then put it back into your pot, or a very large bowl and add the chicken. Pour the sauce over the top and stir through.
- Serve with some freshly cracked pepper and enjoy!
OMG, You have to try this recipe. It is amazeballz. I didn’t have parmesan cheese so just made it up with the cheese I had & it worked out great. This is a new regular for our family. (Clean plates all round!!) ??
Ps: I also added some chopped bacon when cooking off the garlic. & had pre blitzed the cheese to add later. Delish!!
Teenagers love this, another reason we don’t need to eat out of packets anymore. Always a fight for leftovers
My husband loves creamy pastas and this one did not disappoint! The flavours are really tasty and it is nice and creamy without being too rich. Delicious to enjoy on a cold winters night!
Made this for dinner last night! Yum. Was a hit with all 5 of us. Will be a regular on our menu! ?
Great recipe, thank you! Over the last couple of weeks I’ve had a really big wake up call and have decided to (properly!) make the move to additive free and a healthier lifestyle for my family! I made this vegetarian for the kids on our #meatfreemonday… I left out the chicken and added a carrot and zucchini cut into chunks with the cheese. I also used tasty cheese for all of the cheese amount as I had no Parmesan. Only had a 300ml cream so upped the milk to 500g. Will leave it at 450 next time as there was plenty enough liquid/sauce. I cooked for 18 mins so the veggies were cooked through so my little ones wouldn’t detect them. Stirred through the pasta and they absolutely loved it!! The possibilities are endless with this recipe! Thank you again!
oh yay, so glad you like this recipe, thanks so much :) Tracey
Oh my yumminess!!!!
I’ve made this for dinner tonight and it is delish! I did add some steamed broccoli and also an onion (Whenever I read a recipe with garlic it’s like an automatic edition) I can definitely notice the onion flavour and to me it’s a bit like someone stirred a French onion soup mix through (without the nasties) so I’m excited to try it without for a comparison.
oooh yum, sounds delish – yay :)
Just made it then. Absolutely delicious. Great recipe Jo and Tracey! ?
We are glad you liked it Damien.
Thanks
Jo
Wow!! So so yummy. 100 times better than yucko shop bought ones. Will be a regular dinner in this house. Thanks girls?
I was looking for a quick chicken pasta dish for my daughter and came across this! So delicious, I played some for me before adding chicken (I’m vegetarian)! I’ve never been a creamy pasta fan… until now. Thanks for the great flavour packed recipe!
