Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to make fettuccine pasta with chicken in creamy sauce? Prepare your ingredients. Clean the chicken of any excess. Wash and dry it. Wash and dry the greens and peel the onions and garlic. To speed up the cooking process, immediately put a pot of water on the fire to cook the pasta and a frying pan to prepare the sauce.

Step 2

Step 2
Cut the chicken fillet into small pieces. Grate the cheese on a fine or medium grater.

Heat a little olive oil in a hot frying pan (if you don’t have it, use any other vegetable oil) and quickly fry the pieces of meat on all sides, stirring them with a spatula.

While the chicken fillet is frying, finely chop the onion, bacon (or balyk) and garlic clove.

Step 11

Step 11
Prepare the pasta at the same time as the cream sauce. Bring 3 liters of water to a boil in a saucepan, add salt and place the fettuccine in the water. Cook the pasta until al dente (the inside of the pasta should remain slightly firm). To avoid overcooking the pasta, follow the instructions on the package.

Step 12

Step 12
Place the finished pasta in a sieve, lightly sprinkle with olive oil and stir. By the way, be sure to save some of the water in which the pasta was cooked (about 250 g), we will need it to dilute our sauce a little.
