PASTA WITH CHICKEN AND GARLIC
BUTTER SAUCE
Submitted by: littleflow3r
Preparation - Medium
Serves 4
Great pasta dish with with grilled or
barbecued chicken.
1 1/2 cups grilled or barbecued chicken, cut
in morsels
3 tablespoons butter, olive oil or mixture of
the two
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1/3 cup dry white wine
2 to 3 fresh cloves garlic, peeled and
chopped fine
1 toregano or thyme, fresh or dried
(optional)
salt and pepper to taste
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (if you
want a garnish)
3/4 pound pasta (angel hair works well)
This dish is best with a 'pan finish' -
start with a pan large enough to accommodate the drained pasta when the
sauce is ready. Put the pasta water on to boil. Sautee the garlic in the
butter on low heat until it just begins to turn color (light gold). Add the
chicken morsels and the (optional) oregano. Add the lemon juice and white
wine and allow to simmer so the sauce reduces slightly and the chicken
absorbs the flavor. Cook the pasta. Drain the cooked pasta well, reserving
some of the cooking water to moisten the pasta if some people like the sauce
more 'liquid'. Add the drained pasta to the sauce and mix well. Serve on
heated plates, garnishing with the parsley.
