When hunger strikes and time is limited, one does not want to deal with complicated recipes with a long list of ingredients. This pasta with chicken in a creamy garlic sauce is an ideal quick solution for busy residents of South Africa. It is rich, comforting, and full of flavor, while only taking five minutes if you use pre-cooked chicken and instant pasta.
The cream sauce, garlic, and tender chicken meat combine into a satisfying dish that seems much more sophisticated than the effort required.
To prepare, you need one cup of cooked chicken, shredded or diced; one cup of instant pasta, cooked; one tablespoon of butter or olive oil; two cloves of garlic, minced; half a cup of cooking cream; a quarter cup of grated Parmesan cheese; salt and black pepper to taste; half a teaspoon of dried mixed herbs; fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish; a pinch of chili flakes, optional.
Heat the butter or olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and sauté for about thirty seconds until fragrant. Then add the cooked chicken and stir for about a minute to warm it through. Pour in the cooking cream and add the Parmesan cheese. Stir until the cheese melts and the sauce becomes creamy. Add the cooked pasta and mix everything together until evenly coated. Season with salt, black pepper, and mixed herbs. If you like spice, add chili flakes. Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve immediately.
Preparing a child's lunch every morning often turns into a complex task for many mothers, as they need to find a dish that cooks quickly and that the children will eat completely. If you are having trouble choosing such a recipe, this option may prove very useful.
The renowned chef Ranvir Barar shared an impressive paste recipe, perfectly suited for a child's lunch. Preparing this dish does not require pre-boiling the pasta; all ingredients are placed in one multicooker, and just one whistle is enough to get a delicious tomato paste in minutes. This method saves time, reduces dirty dishes, and the taste guarantees that children will empty their containers.
To begin cooking in the multicooker, heat oil and fry ginger and garlic in it for about one minute. Then add onions, butter, and a little salt, and sauté the onion until lightly soft, avoiding excessive browning.
Next, add puree of fresh tomatoes and simmer for 5-6 minutes until the raw taste of the tomatoes completely disappears. This stage is considered the most important for achieving the restaurant taste of the paste. After that, add red pepper degi, coriander powder, and, if desired, a little sugar. Then mix sweet peas, chopped tomatoes, butter, cilantro stems, oregano, and chili flakes.
After this, add 2 cups of water and 2 cups of pasta pena to the multicooker. It is important to use the same cup to measure both the pasta and the tomato puree and the water, otherwise the pasta will not turn out correctly.
Close the lid of the multicooker, and the dish cooks until one whistle sounds. If macaroni or thin pasta is used, immediately turn off the heat and release the pressure after the signal. Since pasta pena is denser, after one whistle, it is necessary to let the pressure release on its own.
Garlic is minced and mixed with butter to create garlic butter. This butter is spread on bread, topped with oregano, chili flakes, and slices of cheese. The bread is covered with another piece of bread. Then, a little garlic butter and olive oil are heated in a frying pan, and the prepared bread is fried on both sides until golden and crispy.
