Creamy Tuscan Chicken Pasta
The Star: Pickled Sun-dried Tomatoes
This recipe focuses on creating a cohesive sauce by emulsifying heavy cream and parmesan with the herb-infused oil from our Sun-Dried Tomatoes. The result is a rich, restaurant-quality pasta dish suitable for family dining.
Ingredients:
Grandpa’s Recipes Product (The Star)
Pasta (Penne or Fettuccine recommended)
Chicken Breast (sliced)
1/2 cup Heavy Cream
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
How to make it:
Cook the pasta in salted boiling water until al dente. Reserve 1/4 cup of the pasta water for the sauce.
Sauté the chicken in a pan using 1 tablespoon of the oil from the Sun-Dried Tomato jar until fully cooked.
Reduce heat to medium-low. Add the heavy cream, parmesan, and Sun-Dried Tomatoes. Stir continuously until the sauce thickens and reaches a smooth consistency.
Fold the pasta into the sauce. Adjust the consistency using the reserved pasta water as needed.
Chef’s Note: Adding the pasta water helps the sauce adhere to the pasta, ensuring an even distribution of flavor in every serving.
