I got this recipe from my ex-husbands cousin Paula. I always liked her the most :) This is a really yummy dish. The ingredients may sound a little different but they blend so great. Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups heavy cream |
4 tablespoons butter |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/8 teaspoon cayenne |
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg |
1/4 cup fresh grated parmesan cheese |
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley |
1/4 cup chopped fresh basil |
1/4 cup chopped fresh mint leaves |
1/4 cup chopped fresh chives |
1 (16 ounce) package angel hair pasta |
2 1/2 cups cooked chicken breasts |
Directions:
1. Combine cream, butter, salt, nutmeg and cayenne in a saucepan and simmer 15 minutes, or until sauce is slightly reduced and thickened.
2. While the sauce is reducing, get the water ready for the pasta and cook as directed.
3. Whisk in Parmesan cheese and herbs to the cream mixture and simmer for another 5 minutes.
4. Add cooked chicken to the cream mixture.
5. Serve pasta topped with the creamy herb and chicken mixture.
6. Serve with a salad and crusty bread. Don't forget the wine :).
