We tried this recipe once before from Tasty (thank God for pages like that, otherwise we'd be out of ideas frequently) and we loved it! It attracted me because it had sun-dried tomatoes in it and I just adore those! :D I'd eat them every day if I could :D But then again, too much is too much...
The original Tasty recipe had asparagus in it but this time I decided to use zucchini instead as a cheaper option. Aaaand since I wanted to be creative and make it a bit more filling I also added some chicken and some mozarella bocancini. That's the beauty of cooking! You can start from a simple recipe and then tweak it and make it your own :D The tweaked version was sooooo yummy I already can't wait to try it out again!
Ingredients (for about 3 servings):
- A shallot, diced
- A pesto jar (again, Barilla is strongly recommended)
- 6-7 sun-dried tomatoes, julienned
- A medium zucchini, peeled*
- 200g mozarella bocancini
- 250g chicken thighs, diced
- Grill seasoning to taste
- 100g cooking cream
- About 200g pasta (we used Fettuccine)
Steps:
1. Boil the pasta with a bit of salt.
2. Chop the chicken, then season it with some grill mix.
3. Cut your shallot and sun-dried tomatoes, then peel all the zucchini lenghtwise with a peeler until you obtain a lot of very thin zucchini slices.
4. Cook the shallot and the chicken together in a pan until the chicken is about 80% cooked then add the zucchini slices and keep cooking them until the zucchini reduces and the chicken is cooked through.
5. Add the sun-dried tomatoes, the pesto and the mozarella and stir for a bit, then add the cooking cream (to make it creamier).
6. Add the cooked pasta and keep stirring to coat the pasta in sauce. Serve immediately with cracked pepper on top. Bon appetit! :)
