I think this is a nice light easy pasta dish (and a change from the creamy sauces). It's a good way of using leftover turkey or ham for a variation. Ingredients:
500 g dry pasta |
1 leek, white part only |
2 1/2 tablespoons oil |
2 cloves garlic, crushed |
600 g smoked chicken (i have used turkey or ham too) |
150 ml chicken stock |
4 whole artichokes, quartered (i use the ones canned in brine and rinse them) |
2 ripe tomatoes |
1/2 cup toasted pine nuts (, i cook them in a dry pan over a low heat shaking them until they're golden) |
salt and pepper |
1 dash tabasco sauce |
Directions:
1. Cook the pasta following the directions, drain and keep warm.
2. Wash the leek well and slice thinly.
3. Heat the oil in a large pan, add the leek and garlic and cook over a medium heat stirring occasionally for about 10 minutes.
4. Add the chicken, stock, artichokes and tomatoes and cook uncovered for about 5 minutes or until the chicken is heated through thoroughly.
5. Stir in the pine nuts and season to taste.
6. Toss through the pasta to combine and serve.
