Nicky, you’ve done it again! I only cook pasta for my husband as I’m not a fan of either tomato sauce or cream sauce But I had all the ingredients in the fridge/cupboard and made it for our meal tonight We both had second helpings I loved it, not sure if I’m a complete pasta convert, but if anyone can convert me, you and your amazing recipes can! Thanks Nicky 😋

@nomadtom2420 3 жыл бұрын

I love these recipes but a bit iffy about how things are cooked properly on stovetop such as the onions and peppers and chicken. Imagine if the chicken was seasoned and seared first and then the onions and peppers allowed to soften till fragrant, garlic added to the mixture then; followed by tomato paste - sautéed for a tad till aromatic then the canned tomatoes added, simmered for a touch before adding the heavy cream. Wow the flavours would be mind blowing!! Imma make it like this.

@josephascroft4774 2 жыл бұрын

You’d have to make a lot more than that for it to make leftovers after the four lads that work on our farm had seen it lol that probably counts for anything with chicken and bacon in it though 👍

Looks great. But doesn’t the chicken overcook? I would want to cook the onions and peppers first as they take quite a while to soften. Then take out and cook the chicken seperately then combine.
