Pasta with Walnut Sauce
Ingredients
- 1 package of short-cut Roma pasta
- 300 grams chicken breast, chopped into small pieces
- 1 garlic clove crushed
- 1 tablespoon of butter
- 1/2 onion chopped
- 2 or 3 walnuts ground in a mortar
- 1 cup of parmesan
- 1 teaspoon of basil
- 1 cup of chicken broth
- 1 sprig of thyme
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Olive oil
Preparation
Pour the butter into a pan and fry the garlic for 1 minute. Add the chicken and season with salt. Cook until golden and set aside.
Pour some olive oil into the pan to stir-fry the onion. When golden, add the chicken broth, ground walnuts, basil, thyme, salt and pepper. Stir well and cook for a few minutes until the broth has reduced. Add some olive oil for a smoother, thicker texture.
Cook the pasta as instructed on the package.
Add the chicken and parmesan to the sauce; mix well. Then toss the pasta with the sauce and serve.
