...Chicken and Bacon Pasta...

This is a recipe for a creamy Pasta sauce, without the cream!



Serves:
2

Freeze?  Microwave?:
You can probably freeze this, Maybe about 3 months (because it has meat in it).  I wouldn't try microwaving it to cook it... since it needs frying.... You could microwave it to reheat it.

Ingredients:

1/2 medium Onion
1 Clove Garlic
Fresh Chives, Parsley and Basil (to taste - I'd use about 1/8 - 1/4 cup total, mostly chives)
2-3 Mushrooms (depending on size)
4 Rashers Bacon
1 Chicken Breast or 2 Chicken thighs
Plain Flour
Milk (about 1-2 cups)
Salt and pepper to taste
Cheese (optional - I'd use 2 low fat cheese slices)

Preparation time:
Probably around 15 minutes.... as long as it takes Pasta to cook.

Method:

1). Put the Pasta on to boil.

2).  Chop the Bacon and Chicken into bite sized pieces.  Finely chop the onion and garlic. 

3).  Fry the Bacon and Chicken until about half cooked.  Add the Onion and fry until Chicken and Onion are browned.  Add the Garlic, Mushrooms and herbs. Fry these until starting to brown.

4). In another pan add milk to about 2 tablespoons of flour, and blend to remove lumps.  Bring this to the boil, stirring frequently to make a white sauce.

5). When thickened, add cheese and fried ingredients.  Add salt and pepper to taste.

6).  Either serve this poured over pasta, or mix the pasta through then serve.
