CHICKEN PROSCUITTO TORTELLONI

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Cut the chicken breast length-wise down the middle. Place it on a small sheet pan and cover with 1 teaspoon each of the garlic and parsley; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Drizzle with the olive oil. Bake until the breast reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees F, about 10 minutes. Let cool, then cut into small pieces.
• Stack the prosciutto and finely chop.
• Toss together the chicken, prosciutto, ricotta, Pecorino-Romano, 1 of the eggs, the remaining parsley and garlic and a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Mix until thoroughly combined.
• Cut the pasta sheets into strips about 3 1/2-inches wide and 8-inches long. Whisk the remaining egg and brush on the pasta sheets.
• Cut circles of pasta from the pasta strips using the cookie cutter.
• Place a teaspoon of the chicken mixture in the center of each circle and fold the bottom half to the top. Pinch both sides towards the center.
• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the pasta until tender, about 4 minutes.

PASTA WITH CHICKEN, ASPARAGUS & PROSCIUTTO (OR BACON)

Steps:

• Trim the asparagus and cut into short lengths on the diagonal - keep the tips separate. (If you like, peel the stems to give a more vibrant colour when cooked.) Cook the stems in salted boiling water for about 4 minutes, then add the tips and cook for 1 minute more. Drain and refresh under cold running water.
• Peel the lemons with a serrated knife, remove all the white pith, then cut into segments by slicing each side of the pieces of membrane. Now cut the segments into small pieces (flick out any pips) and put them in a bowl with any juice. Broil the prosciutto for 3-4 minutes until crisp - keep an eye on it because it can burn easily.
• Meanwhile cook the pasta in plenty of well-salted boiling water until al dente.While it's cooking, put the butter and half the cream in a large pan and let them bubble together over a low heat for 2-3 minutes until thickened slightly. Tip in the lemon segments and juice, the chicken, asparagus and a few pinches of salt. Turn off the heat.
• Drain the pasta and add it to the contents of the pan along with the rest of the cream. Toss well, adding black pepper and nutmeg to taste, and the grated parmesan. Toss again, top with the prosciutto and serve immediately.
