INGREDIENTS

fettuccine, 375g packet
dry white wine,
1/3 cup
thickened cream, 300ml
barbecued chicken,
1/2, flesh shredded
snow peas, 100g, trimmed, halved
frozen peas, 1 cup
mint, finely shredded, 1/3 cup
shaved parmesan, crusty bread, to serve
METHOD

  1. Cook pasta in a large saucepan of boiling, salted water, following packet instructions.

  2. Meanwhile, in a large saucepan, bring wine to the boil. Reduce heat, simmer until reduced by half. Stir in cream. Simmer 2-3 minutes to thicken slightly.

  3. Stir chicken, snow peas and peas through. Simmer 2-3 minutes, until chicken is heated.

  4. Add drained pasta to sauce and toss well. Season to taste. Serve topped with mint and parmesan. Accompany with crusty bread if liked.


TOP TIP
  • Thickened cream can be replaced with low-fat cream for cooking, or evaporated milk.
  • Use sugar snap peas in place of snow peas, if good value.

User comments
Okay, I admit it - at first I was somewhat dubious about the combination of these ingredients but the recipe sounded interesting when it came flashing up on my screen earlier so i thought I would give it a try. I often download recipes in this way but have never left feedback, rating or comment until now. I should state that I replaced the white wine with verjuice and the cream with philly (both personal preferences) - but all I can say is 'WOW' what a great and interesting combo of flavours, you would have to be a mint lover to truly appreciate this one but i will certainly be making it again. Thankyou so much for the recipe!
