This is my first attempt at a cream sauce for quite some time and I can honestly say I don't know why I haven't made this more often. It is delicious and very easy. I found a local farmer that grows, dries, and grinds most of their own herbs, so i used one of their blends for this dish. I believe it would be just a great with any seasoning but here is a list of the herbs in my good'n garlicy blend:
Garlic
Onion
Sea Salt
Basil
Oregano
Parsley
Marjoram
Thyme
Black Pepper
This is pretty much a one dish meal (minus the pot for the pasta). It is very easy and super yummy.
Ingredients:
2-3 Chicken: skinless boneless breast, sliced
1/2 onion, finely chopped
1 Tbs olive oil
heaping hand full of grape tomatoes, diced
1 can artichoke hearts, drained and cut into bite sizes
1-2 Tbs capers
1 garlic clove, minced
1 cup white wine
1/2 pint heavy cream
Parmesan or feta cheese as topping
1 LB Angel Hair Rice Pasta or Penne
optional:
spinach, chopped asparagus, cooked chopped bacon
salt and pepper
Directions:
slice and marinate chicken in seasoning for 2-24 hours
Boil salted water for pasta
Heat oil in a sauce pan
Saute onion and chicken in sauce pan over medium/low
Add additional spices of your choice
Cook until onions are transparent and chicken is almost done
Add diced grape tomatoes, artichokes, capers (add optional ingredients)
Once soft (about 5 minutes) sprinkle with a little more seasoning
Add minced garlic saute for about 1 minute
Add white wine
Bring to a simmer
Add cream to taste
(you can add tomato sauce if you want a rosa sauce at this point)
Simmer on low stirring to incorporate ingredients for about 3 minutes or until the pasta is cooked.
Top cooked pasta with sauce and sprinkle with cheese and cracked pepper
injoy,
Dannielle
