Creamy Rosemary Chicken Linguine

I’m excited to be back in my kitchen again after an enjoyable month long trip to the other side of the world. I was thinking about what I would like to make as our first meal amidst the major jetlag. And one pot pasta won the mental debate, a no brainer really. One pot means very little washing after, and more time to rest. Yay!

I grabbed a couple of fresh ingredients that I randomly picked out at the supermarket from my fridge. Come to think of it, I think I was sleep walking when I was shopping for groceries. Looked in my tiny pantry, and had to choose between bear shaped pasta, dinosaur shaped pasta, animal shaped pasta, and linguine. Darn, tough choice! Well, you know what I picked. I’d recommend using instant pasta for this dish, for a shorter cooking time and less liquid will be needed.

I love how the pasta absorbs all the flavours of the fresh ingredients and aromatics. And how the broth reduce into a thick creamy sauce that coats every single strand of linguine. It was rich but not heavy. The perfect quick and fuss free meal for the family.
