Pappardelle Pasta Recipe

2 Comments

This Pappardelle Pasta Recipe is absolutely delicious and is made with chicken breasts and mushrooms. 

Looking for more recipes that utilize pappardelle pasta. Try my Lobster Pasta or Pappardelle Bolognese!

WHAT IS PAPPARDELLE PASTA

Pappardelle are long, flat and broad ribbons of egg pasta, that originate in Tuscany, Italy.  

HOW TO MAKE PAPPARDELLE PASTA RECIPE

This dish uses dried uncooked pappardelle pasta, white mushrooms, whole chicken breasts and fresh parsley. 

Which comes in a creamy sauce that is sure to make enhance the flavor of the pappardelle noodles.

This dish is very elegant and would be very impressive to serve to a loved one on any special occasions. 

This versatile dish is so quick and easy to make and can really can be served on any day. 

Last year, me and my partner went out for Valentines day.

And it ended up costing us lot.

That is also because Valentine’s day is one of the most busiest dining nights out of the year.

So of course they are going to charge more, make sense right? 

So in the future I think I will be making this dish at home instead and then pairing it with a bottle of wine. 

Giving anyone a fancy dining experience for two for under $40 dollars.

Oh and expect leftovers because this pasta makes a few bowls 😉

If you’re looking for a vegetarian dish for tonight’s dinner?

Feel free to omit the chicken and just use mushrooms.

You can also add in some spinach if you’d like to replace the chicken!

This dish can be made vegan as sell. 

However you would want to replace the butter, parmesan cheese and whole milk with those vegan substitutes of course.

And of course you can use “gluten free” pasta if your on such a diet.

So really there is no excuse to not indulging once in a while in such an amazing dish.

To make this dish all you will need is one large cooking pot, what can be easier than that.

Since pappardelle pasta noodles are not very starchy it’s okay to throw them in dring the last phases of cooking.

If you are using another heavy pasta, then you may want to pre cook the pasta then through it in at the end instead. 

Squeeze the juice from a lemon overtop before serving and you will be in pasta heaven… Bone appetite!

Looking for a NEW MEAL PREP option for the week. This recipe is perfect for that 🙂

I like to make meal preps with my leftovers. They freeze well too!

  • Then served it with a lemon wedge for added vitamin C.

The way you prepare it is completely up to you, both are delicious! 

IS SOUP GOOD FOR THE FLU

The hot chicken broth helps break up the congestion and the salt can sooth a sore throat.  

Then with the addition of garlic, ginger, onions and spices you are going to be consuming a lot of feel good nutrients.

HOW TO MAKE BOK CHOY CHICKEN GARLIC SOUP

I will prepare this on the stove top in a large batch and eat it all day long.

  • You can make this soup with chicken breasts, or you can also pick up a Rotisserie chicken and shred the chicken off the bird and boil the carcass to get the benefits from a bone broth soup.
  • For this soup, I just used the breasts however both methods are good to fight off a cold. 
  • Keep in mind if you are using a whole bird, you won’t need any extra chicken stock since you will be making a bone broth from the bird. 

If you are using chicken breasts then you will definitely want to use chicken stock. I believe this soup can prevent colds and the flu and heal the body, because every time I prepare this soup I feel so much better the next day. See recipe below for all the ingredients and full instructions!! 

Now, I do not know about you but whenever I travel I tend to catch a cold!

Sucks I know, so beforehand I do my best to boost my immune system with supplements and eating healthy.

But sometimes no matter what you do, that pesky cold still comes on.

So a soup like this is sure to help the body to heal and feel better!

Ever since I started to incorporate this soup in my diet right around the time I travel, I manage to minimize or avoid the symptoms of the cold and for me that is great because I would rather be sick 24 hours versus 2 weeks.

Packed with immune boosting ingredients and nutrients, this soup is something you will definitely enjoy even when you’re not under the weather.

Feel free to add some egg noodles to it if you like. I hope you give it a try, and If you are not feeling well I hope this soup makes you feel a whole lot better.

HOW TO MAKE BOK CHOY SOUP

  • Start by slicing your mushrooms and chopping the baby bok choy into bite size pieces.
  • Next chop your onion, crush your garlic and peel and finely chop your your ginger root into tiny pieces. You can use powders if you prefer.
  • If you are using chicken breasts: dice them into bite size pieces and set aside.
  • If you are using a Rotisserie chicken: remove all the meat from your bird and then place the chicken carcass into a large stock pot and add cover with 8 cups of water. Simmer the carcass on low heat for 45 minutes turning a few times to allow the stock to develop.
  • Once the stock has developed, discard the carcass and place the remaining stock aside in a bowl.
  • Next, in your stock pot heat the olive oil and sauteed your onion, garlic and ginger for 2 minutes till fragrant.
  • Now, add in your shredded chicken, chicken stock along with all your bok choy
  • Add in all the spices and simmer on medium – low for 20 minutes.
  • Serve and allow your body to heal itself. Enjoy!

CAN YOU FREEZE BOK CHOY SOUP

Yes, it freezes well. Up to 3 months max though, you do not want a freezer burnt soup.

I have plenty of soup of other soups on this site that would help anyone to feel better. One of which is my Vegetable Egg drop soup. It is absolutely delicious and healthy for you as well.
