PASTA WITH ROASTED CHICKEN AND FRESH HERBS
I came up with this recipe when trying to figure out what to do with leftovers from last night's beer butt chicken. Everything in here is fresh - from the organic chicken to the bright herbs from my garden. One of the reasons it came out so well, I think, is that the herbs in the pasta are the same one's that were used when roasting the chicken, so it was already infused with the flavors. You could use a store bought rotisserie chicken to make life really easy. I didn't really measure anything, so this is a loose approximation...

Steps:
- Place garlic, onion, bell pepper, olive oil and butter in a 3 qt saucepan, cook over medium heat until onion is translucent and pepper is soft, about five minutes, stirring frequently so it doesn't scorch.
- Add wine, stir, let simmer about three minutes to eliminate the alcohol.
- Add basil, oregano, rosemary and tomato, simmer for five minutes.
- Add broth and pepper, then salt to taste. Return to boil and then simmer for three minutes.
- Add chicken, return to boil and simmer for five minutes to allow flavors to meld.
- Add cream, stir well.
- Add cooked pasta and parsley, stir to combine. Adjust salt to taste and serve immediately in pasta bowls.
- The sauce will be thin, so serve this with spoons and a good loaf of crusty french bread to mop it up.

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook farfalle at a boil, stirring occasionally, until cooked through yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes; drain and pour farfalle back into pot.
- Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat; cook chicken in the hot oil until no longer pink in the center and juices run clear, 10 to 15 minutes. Transfer chicken to a cutting board and slice into thin strips.
- Melt 2 tablespoons butter into the same skillet; cook and stir onions in the melted butter until transparent, 5 to 10 minutes. Stir mushrooms and chicken strips into onions; cook until heated through, about 5 minutes. Remove skillet from heat.
- Heat 1/4 cup butter in a large skillet; stir flour into melted butter until dissolved, about 1 minute. Slowly whisk milk into flour mixture until smooth; add garlic, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil for 1 minute; reduce heat.
- Stir chicken mixture and garlic sauce into farfalle; cook and stir over medium-low heat until heated through, 2 to 3 minutes.

Tips:
- Use fresh herbs. Fresh herbs, such as basil, oregano, and thyme, will give your pasta dish a bright, vibrant flavor. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but be sure to use half the amount called for in the recipe.
- Don't overcrowd the pan. When cooking the chicken, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the chicken from cooking evenly and will make it more likely to stick to the pan.
- Cook the pasta al dente. Al dente pasta is pasta that is cooked through but still has a slight bite to it. This is the ideal texture for pasta dishes because it allows the sauce to cling to the pasta better.
- Use a good quality cheese. The type of cheese you use will have a big impact on the flavor of your pasta dish. Use a good quality cheese that melts well, such as Parmesan, cheddar, or mozzarella.
- Serve immediately. Pasta dishes are best served immediately after they are made. This is because the pasta will start to absorb the sauce and become mushy if it sits for too long.
Conclusion:
Creamy pasta with fresh herbs and chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick and easy weeknight meal. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a pasta dish that is sure to please everyone at the table.
