Indulge in a decadent white-wine pasta for the perfect end to your day.
Ingredients:
  • 375g fettuccine
  • 500g chicken breast fillet, thinly sliced
  • 100g button mushrooms, sliced
  • 2 shortcut bacon rashers, chopped
  • 3 green onions, sliced
  • 11.80 gm wholegrain mustard
  • 82.50 gm dry white wine (optional)
  • 127.50 gm chicken style liquid stock
  • 126.25 gm pure cream
  • 500.00 ml Roasted pumpkin (see related recipe)
  • 62.50 ml chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
  • 60g baby spinach
Instructions:
  • Boil pasta in a large saucepan of salted water according to package instructions until tender. Drain and return to pan, covering to keep warm.
  • Heat half of the oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Brown the chicken in batches for 3 to 4 minutes until golden all over. Transfer the chicken to a bowl.
  • Heat the remaining oil in a pan, then add mushrooms and cook for 3 minutes until softened. Next, add bacon and cook for 5 minutes until browned. Stir in onion, garlic, and mustard, cooking for 1 minute until fragrant. Pour in wine (if using) and simmer until reduced by half.
  • Add the cooked chicken back to the pan along with its juices. Stir well to coat the chicken. Pour in the stock and bring it to a boil. Lower the heat and let it simmer for 10 minutes. Stir in the cream and season with salt and pepper. Simmer for an additional 5 minutes. Finally, add the pumpkin, parsley, and spinach, and cook for 3 to 5 minutes until the spinach is just wilted. Serve the dish alongside pasta.
