Ingredients:

Preparing the Pasta

The first step to any great pasta dish is, of course, cooking the pasta perfectly. In a large pot, bring plenty of water to a rolling boil. Don’t be shy with the water; pasta needs room to move and cook evenly. Add a generous pinch of salt to the boiling water. This seasons the pasta from the inside out, which is crucial for flavor. Once the water is at a vigorous boil, add your 250g of pasta. Stir it immediately to prevent any strands from sticking together. Cook according to the package instructions until it’s al dente – that means it should be tender but still have a slight bite to it. Overcooked pasta can turn mushy, so keep a close eye on it. Once cooked, drain the pasta well but do not rinse it. The starch left on the pasta will help the sauce cling to it beautifully. Set it aside for now.

Searing the Chicken and Building the Flavor Base

Now, let’s get to the heart of the dish: the chicken and the flavor base. Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large skillet or pan over medium-high heat. You want the pan to be hot enough to sear the chicken, which locks in its juices and creates a lovely golden-brown crust. Add your 275g of chicken pieces to the hot pan. Season the chicken with 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper, 1/2 teaspoon of red chilli powder, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1 teaspoon of paprika, 1/2 teaspoon of onion powder, and 1/4 teaspoon of oregano. This blend of spices will infuse the chicken with warmth and complexity. Stir the chicken occasionally until it’s cooked through and nicely browned on all sides. This should take about 5-7 minutes. Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the pan and set it aside with the pasta.

Creating the Creamy Sauce

This is where the magic truly happens. In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium. If there’s excessive oil left from cooking the chicken, you can carefully pour some of it out, leaving just a tablespoon or so. Add your 4 minced garlic cloves to the pan. Sauté the garlic for about 30 seconds until it’s fragrant, being careful not to burn it, as burnt garlic can turn bitter. Next, stir in 2 tablespoons of tomato paste. Cook the tomato paste for about a minute, stirring constantly. This step is important as it deepens the flavor of the tomato paste and removes any raw taste. Now, pour in 130ml of milk and 110ml of double cream. Stir everything together, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan – these bits are packed with flavor!

Infusing the Sauce with Heat and Richness

As the milk and cream begin extract to warm, add 1 teaspoon of chilli sauce or sriracha to the mixture. This will add a pleasant kick of heat that complements the creamy base. Stir well to combine. Let the sauce simmer gently for about 2-3 minutes, allowing it to thicken slightly. You’ll notice the sauce becoming richer and more velvety. Taste the sauce at this point and adjust the salt and pepper if needed. Remember, you’ve already seasoned the chicken, so be mindful of not making the sauce too salty. The consistency should be pourable but thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.

Bringin extractg It All Together

Now it’s time to reunite all the elements. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the creamy sauce. Stir gently to ensure the chicken is well coated. Then, add the drained pasta to the skillet. Toss everything together carefully, ensuring that every piece of pasta and chicken is generously coated with the luscious sauce. Continue to cook for another 1-2 minutes over low heat, allowing the pasta to absorb some of the sauce and for all the flavors to meld together beautifully. Serve this delightful Aymen Ali’s Creamy Chicken Pasta immediately, garnished with a sprinkle of fresh parsley if desired for a pop of color and freshness. Enjoy every creamy, flavorful bite!
