Garlic Prawn Bruschetta Pasta

Garlic Prawn Bruschetta Pasta
This pasta is as fresh as a dewy morning in Tuscany, the sun rising over rolling fields of the ripest tomatoes, the sweet call of birds beckoning in a new and glorious basil-scented dawn. We've gone and invited prawns to this bucolic party, succulent, tender and juicy, nestled in a bed of firm to the bite pasta with lashings of grassy, springlike olive oil. Overall, this is summer in a plate - enjoy it while it lasts.

Roasted Garlic Chicken Alfredo Penne

Roasted Garlic Chicken Alfredo Penne
ROASTED GARLIC CHICKEN ALFREDO PENNE
Author:
Cuisine: Italian
Recipe type: Pasta
Ingredients
  • 3 small bulbs garlic
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • pinch salt
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • ½ cup white wine
  • 1 cup grated parmesan
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp thyme leaves
  • 500g cooked penne
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 chicken breasts
  • ½ cup reserved pasta water
Instructions
  1. Cut the tops off the garlic bulbs, pop them on a sheet of tin foil, and dress with 1 tbsp olive oil and a good pinch of salt. Wrap up to seal then bake for 1 hour at 180°C. Cool, then squeeze the cloves from their skins and mash well with a fork. Set aside.
  2. Heat 2 tbsp olive oil over a medium-high heat, then add the chicken breasts. Fry, uncovered, for 4-5 minutes, or until the underside is well browned. Season with salt and pepper, then flip. Partially cover the pan with a lid and cook for a further 4 minutes. Remove lid and chicken, then rest for 10 minutes before slicing into thin slices (the same side as the penne quills).
  3. Wipe out the pan with a piece of kitchen towel to remove excess oil.
  4. Add wine and reduce by half. Stir through the roasted garlic puree and add the thyme. Pour in the cream. Reduce slowly until rich and thick - about 10 minutes. Season with ½ tsp salt and the 1 tsp pepper. Add parmesan and chicken and stir through.
  5. Cook penne until al dente, then add along with the pasta water. Beat and toss the pasta well to encourage the starch to emulsify with the sauce. Do this for a minute or so. It should coat every piece of pasta evenly.
  6. Serve!
