As mentioned on my
Pancit Habhab Blog/Recipe, I cooked this dish also during "Father's
Day" to fill-in the tummies, not just of daddy and hubby, but of the
entire family.
Since this is my first
time to cook Pesto pasta, I followed a tip found on the packaging of McCormick
Pesto Pasta Sauce Mix. In this dish, I
diluted the sauce mix to milk instead of water to make it creamy.
It's been so long that
I only cook pasta in two ways - Pasta
with pinoy spaghetti sauce (haven't done it perfectly, hubby end up
re-seasoning to correct the taste until now) and Pasta in carbonara sauce. Since my parents are not a fan of pasta, I
did not attempt to explore cooking a pasta dish. It's a good thing that hubby is a fan of
pasta dishes - alas! I found a guinea pig for my pasta dishes. Hubby will surely enjoy the journey of
tasting my best and worst pasta dishes in a not-so-far future.
Ingredients:
500 g. Fettuccine
100 g. Chicken breast fillet, cut into bite-size
pieces
400 g. McCormick Pesto Pasta Sauce Mix
3 tbsp. Canola oil (instead of using Olive oil, I
chose a less-expensive and cholesterol-free one)
1 tbsp. Finely-chopped onion
2 tbsp Finely-chopped garlic
1/2 tsp Ground Pepper
1/4 tsp Salt
1 cup Evaporated milk
1/4 cup Parsley to
garnish
Cooking Instructions:
- Cook fettuccine until Al dente. Do not forget to add few drops of oil and pinch of salt on the pasta. Drain water from cooked pasta.
- Heat cooing oil in a skillet over medium heat. Saute garlic and onion until tender. Add in chicken, then stir.
- Season with ground pepper. Cook until chicken is golden, and cooked through. Set the stove to low heat.
- In a bowl, mix 1 cup of evaporated milk with 400 g. of McCormick Pesto Pasta Sauce Mix. Stir until the pesto pasta sauce is dissolved and properly mixed with evaporated milk.
- Pour in the pesto mixture to the skillet. Stir until the pesto mixture is properly mixed with the other ingredients.
- Cover and allow the chicken to absorb the pesto mixture.
- In a large bowl, combine the pasta with the cooked ingredients. Toss to coat evenly.
- To serve, garnish with
parsley.
Number of
servings: good for 6 to 8
