Courgette carbonara

“A super smart, good value midweek supper for two, with added veg to make it healthier”

  • 100 g cubetti di pancetta
  • 2 medium courgettes, grated (approx 500 g)
  • 1 garlic clove, crushed
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 90 ml soya cream
  • 50 g parmesan, finely grated
  • 300 g fettucine

Cook the pancetta in a dry, non-stick pan until crisp and golden (it’ll give off enough fat to cook itself). Add the courgette and garlic and cook for 8 minutes or until the courgette is softened. Whisk the egg, cream and parmesan and season with pepper. Cook the pasta following the pack instructions, then lift out of water with tongs straight into the courgette pan.

Toss well over the heat then take off the heat and toss with the egg / cream mix, adding 2-3 tbsp of the pasta water until you have a nice emulsified sauce.

Cider Chicken with Tagliatelle

“Patrick added an English flavour to an Italian favourite mixing cider and pasta”

  • 400 g tagliatelle
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 400 g chicken breasts, skinless, cut into chunks
  • 210 ml dry cider
  • 1 1/2 tbsp wholegrain mustard
  • 15 g butter
  • 1 large leek, halved lengthways and finely sliced across
  • 80 g mushrooms, sliced
  • 100 ml double cream
  • 1 tbsp chives, snipped to garnish

Cook tagliatelle to packet instructions.  Meanwhile, heat 1 tbsp oil in a pan and fry chicken for 8 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden all round.  Add cider and mustard.  Season and simmer for 5-7minutes until slightly reduced.

Melt butter in a pan, add remaining oil and cook leek for 3 minutes.  Add mushrooms and cook for another 2 minutes.  Add leek and mushrooms to chicken, stir in cream and simmer for 2 minutes.

Toss cider chicken with tagliatelle.  Garnish with chives.
