Creamy Pasta with Chicken, Mushroom, Avocado and Bacon
So I decided to make this after I bought a bunch of avocados for 20c each at my local fruit and vegetable market (but needed to use them asap) and salvaged a whole chicken my partner had boiled in a poor attempt at soup. I also had a few handfuls of diced bacon I didn't use on a pizza and decieded to add a little mushroom, cream and pasta and make a carbonara. The beauty of this recipe is that you can add or remove any ingredients, so avocado/bacon/mushroom/chicken can be removed or tweaked.So, you will need:
1 1/2 Avocados, diced
Couple of handfuls of diced bacon
6 button mushrooms, chopped
300g of chicken thighs, cut into slices and trimmed of fat (or any kind of chicken)
5 Spring onions, diced
300g any pasta
300ml Cream
2 cloves garlic
2 eggs
Olive Oil
handfull of chopped parsley
shaved parmesan, salt and pepper to taste
1. Fry the spring onions, garlic and brown the chicken in a non-stick frypan.
2. Add the mushrooms and bacon. You may like to add some butter to help soften the mushrooms, or drizzle in a little olive oil. Turn down low.
3. Meanwhile boil the pasta until soft and drain.
4. Whisk the eggs, cream and some grated parmesan, salt and pepper.
5. Add the pasta into the chicken mushroom mixture, then the diced avocado.
6. Mix thoroughly and add the chopped parsley and any extra parmesan, salt or pepper.
