Welcome back to our kitchen where we
show you how to make delicious family
friendly recipes. We love pasta bakes in
our house and this creamy chicken pasta
Alfredo baked is no exception. I've got
the oven preheating to 190 C or 375 F
and a big pan of water coming to the
boil we're gonna start by par cooking
the pasta. I've got 400 grams or 14
ounces of dried pasta, add that to the
pot of boiling water you want to cook
that for about a minute less than the
time on the packet for this pasta that's
about 10 minutes.
Whilst the pasta is cooking heat 2 tbsps of olive oil
on a medium heat in a large frying pan.
Add a finely diced onion to the pan and
cook for 4 to 5 minutes stirring
occasionally until the onion softens. Add
230 grams which is about half a pound
but baby chestnut mushrooms have been
sliced in half then half a teaspoon each
of salt and pepper and two cloves of
minced garlic, cook for a further three
to four minutes stirring often until the
mushrooms are tender.
Next in goes a hundred and twenty mill
for half cup of white wine.
Turn up the heat to high and allow the
wide support for a few minutes until
reduce by half then turn the heat back
down to medium and add 120 mil or half
a cup of chicken stock. Now we're going
to add 240 mil or a cup of double or
heavy cream, 2 cooked chicken breasts
that have been shredded and 50 grams or
half a cup of grated Parmesan cheese.
Stir together until all combined and the
cheese melts.
By now that pasta should be
cooked so we're going to drain it over a
colander and then we'll add the drained
pasta into the pan and stir together
until the pasta is coated in that
delicious creamy sauce.
Transfer the
contents of the pan to a large baking dish.
Then sprinkle on 50 grams or a half a
cup each of grated Parmesan, Cheddar and
mozzarella and place in the oven for 20
to 25 minutes until the cheese is golden brown.
Remove from the oven and sprinkle
with some chopped fresh parsley before
serving. There you go that's my
deliciously creamy chicken alfredo pasta
bake I know Chris and the kids will end up
picking the mushrooms out but they'll
enjoy it just the same and a i'll eat all the
mushrooms.
