This is a huge favorite of mine! Fresh herbs and a tomato cream sauce just make this dish scream YUM! Oh, and a side note, in case I haven't already mentioned it, I am not a huge tomato fan. I can do spaghetti sauce and things like that but if the idea of this tomato sauce turns you off, just try it and then judge. It's SO good!
3/4 lb of pasta ***
2 Tbsp butter
2 Tbsp olive oil
1/2 onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic I crush it in the garlic press
2-3 chicken breasts, diced (or more if you like a lot of meat)
1/2 cup dry white wine (can substitute chicken broth)
1 small can tomato sauce
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup shredded Italian Cheese
FRESH Basil
FRESH Italian Parsley
FRESH Chives
(Or any combination of the three)
Start your pasta water. When the water is boiling, salt the water. Then chop your onion and get your garlic ready. Put butter and oil in a large pan and heat. Add onion and garlic and cook until soft. Salt and pepper diced chicken and add to pan, let the chicken sit for a few minutes to get a nice brown color on them. When chicken is cooked through add white wine and cook for a few minutes. Then stir in tomato sauce and then the cream. Let simmer for about 5 minutes and whisk in the cheese. Just before serving, add the herbs. Garnish with fresh herbs and Italian cheese and enjoy!
***I like plenty of sauce with my pasta. I always cook the whole box and then use the rest for something else but trust me, only use 3/4 of the lb. :)
