Chicken Rosemary Pasta


This dish will not require you any effort. Chicken Rosemary Pasta is a simple pasta that you can cook almost everyday. I cook this as my "pambaon” at work. Here are the ingredients that you need:

-chicken fillet

-rosemary

-tomato paste

-garlic

-salt and pepper

-spaghetti noodles (preferably whole wheat)

-olive oil


For the chicken:

  • Marinade the chicken with calamansi (or lemon), salt, pepper and soy sauce.
  • Fry the marinated chicken in low heat to keep the moisture inside. Set aside.

For the pasta:

  • Cook the spaghetti until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  • Sauté the garlic in olive oil.
  • Add the tomato paste once the garlic is almost golden brown
  • Add a small amount of water to make the consistency of the paste even
  • Add the rosemary
  • Season with salt and pepper• Once the consistency is thick again put the pasta, add oil if you want
  • Make sure that the pasta is evenly coated with the sauce
  • Serve with chicken on top
  • Or you can also cut the chicken fillet into strips, then before adding the pasta, add the chicken to the tomatoes sauce mixture

If available, I suggest you use fresh rosemary instead. You can also put some freshly squeezed lemon juice if you want a bit tangy taste. Sun dried tomatoes would also add up to the taste. Don't be afraid to experiment, that what makes your foodgy exciting.
