Ingredients
Directions
Cook the pasta according to package instructions. The (penne) pasta i used had to be boiled in water by adding salt for 10 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent the pasta from sticking to the pan. You know the pasta is done when you can easily cut it with the edge of a spoon. Drain when done.
In a pan over medium heat add butter , garlic and onion and saute until the garlic turns golden brown.
Add flour and saute for 1 minute
Add about ½ cup of milk and stir . Use a spatula to brake any lumps of flour and incorporate it into the sauce.
When the sauce is creamy , without any lumps add the rest of the milk.
Add pepper, oregano and chili flakes and stir until the sauce thickens.
Add the cooked Chicken and mix. The chicken can be cooked the way you like. You can simply boil it with salt and pepper or can add some spices if you wish it to be a little flavorful. If you prefer grilling it go ahead .
Add cheese and stir. You can add parmesan or mozzarella
Now add the pasta and cook for another 2 minutes.
Garnish with some freshly chopped parsley.
Serve hot.
Tips:
- Cook the pasta in a large pot or pan since pasta expands as it is exposed to heat. If the vessel is too small, it will stick to the vessel and become mushy
- Some recipes urge you to drizzle some oil to the boiling pasta. But in my experience it is the worst idea for a perfect pasta since the pasta and the sauce will remain separate once mixed together.
- Stirring continuously while preparing the sauce or else you would end with lumps. Use a spatula to break down any lumps formed while adding milk.
Alternative ingredients:
- You can swap butter with olive oil if you prefer.
- You can use any kind of pasta in this recipe.
