This is a relatively simple dish to cook but is very good!
Ingredients:
- 110g of Smoked Pancetta Lardons
- 300g of Macaroni
- 2 large chicken breasts (chopped into pieces)
- 500ml of chicken stock
- 1 x tbsp of white wine vinegar
- 320g of frozen peas
- 2 little gem lettuce
- 50g of grated parmesan cheese (more for serving)
- 4 x tbsp of creme fraiche
- 15g of chopped chives
In an oven proof deep pan (that has a tight fitting lid) fry the lardons until cooked and almost crispy.
Then stir in the pasta, the chicken stock and some extra hot water (say 200ml) and bring to the boil. The pasta must be covered by the stock/water.
Fit the lid (use foil is necessary) and place in a hot oven (200 deg C) for 30 mins. Reduce to 180 degC for fan ovens)
Remove from the oven and add the vinegar, peas and quartered lettuce (wedges) and cooked uncovered for 5 to 8 mins but don't burn the lettuce.
Remove from the oven and add the cheese, creme fraiche and most of the chives amd season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve by adding more cheese and some pepper.
