Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 g Linguine
- 2 pieces Smoked chicken breasts
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 200 ml Heavy cream
- 2 tbsp Whole-grain mustard
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 100 ml Chicken stock
- 50 g Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 to taste Salt
- 1 to taste Black pepper
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, then add the linguine and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water before draining the pasta.
While the pasta cooks, slice the smoked chicken breasts into thin strips.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Mince the garlic cloves, then add them to the skillet and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the sliced smoked chicken to the skillet and toss to warm through, about 2 minutes.
Lower the heat to medium-low and pour in the heavy cream, chicken stock, whole-grain mustard, and Dijon mustard. Stir well to combine.
Let the sauce simmer gently for 3-4 minutes to thicken slightly, then stir in the grated Parmesan cheese. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Add the cooked linguine to the skillet, tossing it in the sauce to coat evenly. If the sauce is too thick, use the reserved pasta water to loosen it, a little at a time.
Sprinkle the parsley over the pasta, give it one final toss, and remove from heat.
Serve hot, garnished with additional Parmesan cheese if desired.
