Chicken and Prawn Rosso pesto Pasta

Italian food is a favourite and is something that I love cooking at home. Tomato pasta dishes that pack flavour and are quick to make always win through. Today I am sharing my chicken and prawn (shrimp) Rosso pesto pasta. 

For this recipe you will need the following ingredients:

It serves four as a main meal, takes twenty minutes to prepare and thirty minutes to cook. 

So let's crack on:

1.Take one onion and chop. 

2.Chop one red and green pepper.

3.Chop Two gloves of garlic.

4. In a large saucepan heat a teaspoon of oil on a medium heat and add the onion, peppers and garlic. 

Gentle fry for seven minutes. 

5.Whilst the onion, pepper and garlic is cooking chop the two chicken breasts. 

6.Add the two chicken breasts to the onions, peppers and garlic. 

7.Cook the chicken for ten minutes and then add 25 grams of wild mushrooms. 

8.Gentle fry the mushrooms for three minutes. 

9.When the mushrooms have been mixed and slightly softened add a teaspoon of hot sauce. 

10.Whilst the ingredients continue to cook. Add 40 grams of tagliatelle pasta to a pan of boiling water with a good pinch of salt. Cook for ten to twelve minutes or as directed on the packet. 

11.Returning to the chicken add 170 grams of raw peeled prawns (shrimp) to the chicken. 

12.Gentle cook the prawns, when completed add the pesto Rosso sauce and stir through all the ingredients.

You can make your own sauce if you like it is easy enough to make, I personally like the jar option because it makes the meal a super quick meal. 

13.When the chicken and prawns (shrimp) are coated in the Rosso, chop five basil leaves and add to the frying pan with the other ingredients. 

14.By this stage the pasta should be cooked. Take two dessert spoonfuls of the pasta water and add to the chicken and shrimp. The water will help to bind the pasta to the sauce. 

15. Add the drained pasta to all the other ingredients and stir in until all the pasta is coated. 

16.You are now ready to dish your wonderful meal up.

Sit back relax and totally enjoy the wonderful food that you have made with your own fair hands. Nothing is quite as satisfying.
