- 1 t oregano or thyme, fresh or dried (optional)
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (if you want a garnish)
- 3/4 pound pasta (angel hair works well)
Pasta pot, saucepan or skillet large enough to accomodate pasta and chicken.METHOD:
- THIS dish is best with a 'pan finish' - cooked and drained pasta is added to other ingredients for final blending.
- PUT the pasta water on to boil.
- SAUTÉ the garlic in the butter on low heat until it just begins to turn color (light gold).
- ADD the chicken morsels and the (optional) oregano.
- ADD the lemon juice and white wine and allow to simmer so the sauce reduces slightly and the chicken absorbs the flavor.
- COOK the pasta.
- DRAIN the cooked pasta well, reserving some of the cooking water to moisten the pasta if some people like the sauce more 'liquid'.
- ADD the drained pasta to the sauce and mix well.
- SERVE on heated plates, garnishing with the parsley.
