Tomato Mascarpone Pasta with Fresh Basil
Sautéed chicken and chickpea pasta tossed in a velvety tomato mascarpone sauce, finished with fragrant fresh basil for a bright, creamy finish.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken breast
1.5 oz Chickpea pasta
0.5 cup Tomato puree
1 tbsp Mascarpone cheese
1 clove Garlic
0.5 tsp Extra virgin olive oil
0.25 cup Fresh basil leaves
0.25 tsp Sea salt
0.25 tsp Black pepper
0.1 tsp Red pepper flakes
PREPARATION
Boil the chickpea pasta in salted water until al dente, reserving two tablespoons of the pasta water before draining.
Season the chicken breast with half of the salt and pepper, then sear in a pan with olive oil over medium-high heat until golden and cooked through.
Remove the chicken from the pan to rest, then add the minced garlic to the same pan and sauté until aromatic.
Pour in the tomato puree and red pepper flakes, simmering on low for 3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Stir in the mascarpone cheese until the sauce becomes a smooth, creamy orange hue.
Slice the chicken into bite-sized pieces and add them to the sauce along with the cooked pasta and reserved water.
Toss everything together until well-coated and garnish with hand-torn fresh basil leaves.
