Wonderful pasta dish in a great creamy garlic sauce. I also have used crab meat instead of the chicken. Ingredients:
2 cups shell pasta |
2 tablespoons canola oil |
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts, cubed |
4 cups 2% low-fat milk |
3 tablespoons flour |
3 tablespoons butter or 3 tablespoons margarine |
2 -3 minced garlic cloves |
1 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon pepper |
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg |
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese |
3/4 sliced mushrooms, sauteed |
1/3 cup frozen peas |
Directions:
1. Boil pasta in lightly salted water.
2. Fry chicken in canola until lightly browned, set aside.
3. In large pot sauté garlic in butter or margarine, do not brown.
4. Add flour, salt, pepper, and nutmeg to garlic and butter or margarine and mix to form a roux.
5. Slowly add milk, whisking to prevent lumps.
6. Add parmesan cheese and mix well.
7. Cook over medium heat stirring often until sauce thickens.
8. Add chicken, mushrooms, and peas to the sauce.
9. Drain cooked pasta and mix into sauce.
10. Serve immediately.
