Fettuccine With Venetian Chicken Sauce Recipes

CHICKEN FETTUCCINE ALFREDO

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil, and salt generously. Add the pasta and cook according to package directions until al dente (tender but still slightly firm). Drain and toss with a splash of oil.
• Meanwhile, slice the chicken into 1/4-inch-thick strips, and lay them on a plate or a sheet of waxed paper. Season with salt and pepper.
• Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add 2 tablespoons of the butter. When the butter melts, raise the heat to medium-high and add the chicken in 1 layer. Cook, without moving the pieces, until the underside has browned, 1 to 2 minutes. Flip the pieces, and cook until browned and cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes more. Transfer the chicken to a medium bowl.
• Reduce the heat to medium. Add the remaining 6 tablespoons butter. Scrape the bottom of the skillet with a wooden spoon to release any browned bits. When the butter has mostly melted, whisk in the cream and nutmeg and bring to a simmer, then cook for 2 minutes. Lower the heat to keep the sauce just warm.
• Whisk the Parmigiano-Reggiano into the sauce. Add the chicken and cooked pasta and toss well. Season with salt and pepper. Serve hot in heated bowls.

FETTUCCINE WITH VENETIAN CHICKEN SAUCE

Steps:

• In a saucepan, bring chicken stock to a boil. Cut the chicken breasts into lengthwise strips about the width of a finger, and drop them into the boiling stock.
• Cover and bring to a boil, then decrease heat and simmer for 4 minutes. Remove the cover and set aside, allowing the chicken to cool in the liquid. When cool, transfer chicken to a cutting board and reheat the stock.
• Cut the chicken strips lengthwise into ¼-inch thick slices, then cut across to make ¼-inch dice.
• Meanwhile, melt 1 tablespoon of the butter in another large saucepan. Stir in the garlic and cook over low heat until the garlic is very fragrant but not browned, a couple minutes. Add 1 cup water to prevent the garlic from browning.
• Add in carrots and salt, and cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the mixture is nearly dry with just a bit of water left, about 20 to 25 minutes. Stir constantly toward the end of this step to be sure the carrots do not brown at all.
• Add the hot stock and tomato juice. Cover and bring to a boil, then decrease heat, partially cover, and simmer gently for 35 minutes or until the carrots are very soft. Puree with an immersion blender or regular blender until you have a smooth puree. Set aside.
• Add the chicken to the sauce and reheat gently. Adjust seasoning with more salt if needed.
• Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Generously salt the water and add in the fettuccine. Cook, stirring often, until al dente.
• Drain the pasta and return to the pasta pot off the heat. Toss with the remaining butter and fold enough sauce to coat the noodles generously. Serve immediately with grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese on the side for topping.

VENETIAN-STYLE PASTA

Steps:

• Start frying the onions in the oil in a non-stick frying pan - you'll need to cook them for about 10 mins until they're very soft. Meanwhile, boil the pasta.
• Stir the vinegar, sultanas, capers and most of the pine nuts into the soft onions with some seasoning, then cook for 1 min more to soften the sultanas. Stir in the spinach with a splash of pasta water. Drain the pasta, then toss with the onion mix - the spinach should wilt as you do. Divide between 2 bowls, scatter with the remaining pine nuts and serve.
