« Recipes | Posted on 06/15/2010 09:25 pm by NessThis recipe was given to me last week by my friend Kerri’s lovely mum Linda who looked after me when I was over in Portugal sans Jamie.
It’s delicious and easy peasey to make. I thoroughly recommend it.
Serves 4
Ingredients:
- Diced onion
- 3/4 cloves garlic, crushed or finely grated
- 8 slices bacon, chopped thinly
- 1 chicken breast thinly sliced
- large knob of butter
- Good glug of olive oil
- 1 tub mascarpone cheese
- 150ml pouring cream
- good handful of parmesan cheese
- spaghetti (cooked)
Method:
- Put the knob of butter and the olive oil in a large pan and melt the butter
- Add the diced onion and grated or crushed garlic. Cook for 5 mins, stirring frequently
- Add the chicken and bacon and cook for a further 10 minutes, again stirring frequently
- In a small bowl, mix the cream and mascarpone and parmesan cheese together before adding this to the bacon & chicken in the pan
- Let this simmer on a med/low heat for 5 minutes stirring as you go
- Once the spaghetti has cooked, add this to the sauce and combine
- Serve with parmesan sprinkled on the top and some garlic bread.
