Course Lunch, Main course
Cuisine American, Italian
Total Time 30 minutes
Servings 4 servings

Ingredients

  • 500 g pasta
  • 400 g chicken, cut into large chunks
  • 125 g bacon, diced
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, grated or crushed
  • 1 handful fresh basil
  • 80 g Parmesan
  • 250 ml whipping cream (38% fat)
  • 50 ml vodka
  • 1 tin chopped tomatoes
  • 3 tbsp tomato purée
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • Chilli flakes
  • Salt and pepper
  • Oil

Instructions

  • Heat a little oil in a large pan, season the chicken with salt and pepper and brown it well – it should be cooked through but still juicy. Set it aside on a plate.
  • In the same pan, fry the onion and bacon for a good 5 minutes. The bacon should be golden but not crisp.
  • Add the garlic and fry for about a minute, then add the tomato purée and fry for another minute.
  • Pour in the vodka and let it bubble up briefly, then add the chopped tomatoes, cream, basil and oregano and let the sauce simmer over a medium heat for about 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, cook the pasta according to the packet instructions.
  • Return the chicken to the sauce, stir in the Parmesan and season to taste with salt and pepper. Add chilli flakes if you would like the sauce spicy – they really suit it.
  • Drain the pasta, saving a little of the pasta water to adjust the consistency if needed.
  • Toss the pasta in the sauce, adjust the consistency with a little pasta water if needed, and serve topped with some finely chopped fresh herbs and chilli flakes.
