Ingredients
Method
Sautéing Process
- Heat 3 tbsp of sunflower oil in a wide pan over medium heat.
- Add the onions and garlic, and sauté for about 5 minutes.
Cooking the Paste
- When the onions soften, add 1 tsp of pepper paste.
- Continue to sauté, stirring constantly until the raw smell of the paste is gone (about 1 minute).
Binding with Tomatoes
- Add 1 cup of tomato puree and 1/2 cup of water to the pan.
- Let it simmer over medium-low heat for about 7 minutes so the sauce slightly reduces and thickens.
The Meeting of Mushrooms and Chicken
- Add the thinly sliced mushrooms to the sauce and cook for 6 minutes.
- Once the mushrooms have softened, add the pre-fried shredded chicken, salt, and spices; and cook for another 3 minutes.
- If the sauce looks too thick to you, add a splash of hot water or reserved pasta water.
The Cream Touch and Serving
- Turn the heat down to low. Slowly add the 200 ml of heavy cream to the sauce and stir until it gets a homogeneous color.
- Cook for 3 more minutes and turn off the stove.
- After resting your sauce for a few minutes, bring it together with your "al dente" boiled pasta.
