Smoked Chicken Pasta Spirals
Here is a quick and easy dish from Ginny…
I make a dish with the large pasta spirals, shredded smoked chicken, lashings of grated parmesan, quite a lot of fresh lemon juice, splash of olive oil, freshly cooked baby french beans, seasoned with salt and freshly ground black pepper, (no measurements just go by taste) then I cook some stale foccacia bread broken up into large crumbs in olive oil and sprinkle on top – yum!

I make a smoked chicken pasta dish with spinach, basil, pine nuts and cream sauce. It’s very, very nice, but the three veg man won’t eat it though. 
Chicken Fettuccine With No Cream
Have you ever wondered why Chicken Fettuccine and other pasta dishes are so creamy? We often forget that “cream” is used within these dishes which can be a worry for those of us who are watching our figures.
There are a few options available as an alternative to using cream in Chicken Fettuccine including:
- a can of evaporated milk
- a can of thick chicken soup
- a cup of milk with cornflour and a bit of butter
I always use lite Evaporated milk and no thickner and it turns out great. Your Chicken Fettuccine will not be too rich as it is with cream (although I do like cream!).
