As life goes on, priorities shift.If earlier women mostly took care of the house and children, today they are wives, mothers, and successful individuals in their work - professionals in their field. Therefore, they often simply do not have enough time (and sometimes even desire) to prepare elegant and exotic dishes. However, eating only borscht, pasta and cutlets also gets boring. If you want variety, we suggest making spaghetti with fresh mushrooms and chicken in a delicate and aromatic creamy sauce. These simple recipes will come to the rescue at the most opportune moments!
Appetizing pasta with champignons
This dish with mushrooms and chicken is suitable for everyoneoccasions - it can be prepared for a romantic dinner or lunch with parents, for a hen party or lunch. We suggest making pasta in a creamy sauce, although you can replace it with another one at your discretion if you wish. Ingredients:
- two large spoons of vegetable (preferably olive) oil
- one package (about 450 grams) of spaghetti (can take a linguine)
- two tablespoons of soy sauce
- 750 grams of fresh champignons
- 500 grams of chicken meat (suitable for both fillets and thighs)
- 225 milliliters of not very fatty cream
- two medium garlic cloves
- Salt (cooked) and spices - at your discretion
Method of preparation:Cut the champignons into thin half rings and the chicken into small pieces. Then fry the latter in a deep saucepan with a little vegetable oil, and then add the mushrooms. Stir all the ingredients constantly with a spoon and cook until the vegetables release juice. Now pour in the low-fat cream and a little soy sauce, keep it on low heat for about five minutes. By the way, you don’t need to add salt to this dressing — soy, as they say, does its job. While the creamy mushroom mixture is stewing, you need to boil the spaghetti. To do this, follow the manufacturer’s instructions, however, if you want to make pasta like in Italy, remove the pasta from the stove three minutes before the time indicated on the package. Then let the excess liquid drain, place the product on a beautiful plate, sprinkle with crushed garlic and pour over the hot dressing. That’s it! Agree, such pasta in a creamy sauce is a great option for a tasty and quick lunch or dinner. For those who love spices, we recommend using Italian herbs or ready-made dry spices.
Spaghetti with minced meat and mushrooms in wine-cream sauce
We present to your judgment another recipe for spaghettiwith mushrooms. This time we will make the dish in a creamy sauce with the addition of dry wine. If you have never tried such a dish, we highly recommend it! Its preparation will take at most half an hour. We made minced chicken ourselves, however, if you do not have the time or desire, you can buy it in the store. The main thing is that the product is fresh! Ingredients:
- three large chicken fillets (also a leg or thighs)
- 30 grams (expensive but incredibly tasty!) Parmezan
- large bulb - one piece
- one big clove of garlic
- 70 milliliters of white wine (take dry)
- 300 grams of spaghetti (you can substitute other products)
- one teaspoon oregano (dry)
- 200 grams of fresh mushrooms (we took champignons)
- salt (better cooked) and freshly ground pepper - according to your preferences
- 300 milliliters of thick cream
Method of preparation:Grind the fillet using a meat grinder or blender. Then finely chop the garlic cloves and onion. Heat vegetable oil (use olive oil if possible) in a deep frying pan and add the onion, then fry it, stirring regularly, until it becomes translucent. The main thing here is not to overcook it! Pour in the garlic and dried oregano, leave for a few more seconds. Now add the minced meat and champignons, previously cut into small cubes. Chicken meat can form lumps, in which case “break” them with a fork or wooden spatula. When they become lighter, pour in the table wine, and then the cream, after the smell of alcohol has evaporated. Do not forget to add table salt (one or two pinches) and black pepper - simmer the product under a closed lid for about ¼ hour. Meanwhile, cook the Italian spaghetti until al dente (their center should remain firm). Some sources recommend draining the pasta in a colander, while others say you shouldn't. So use your own discretion and culinary intuition! Now place the pasta on a plate, pour over the hot sauce with chicken and fresh mushrooms, and grate some Parmesan on top. You can garnish with a few basil leaves. Enjoy!
