Stove Top Chicken Ricotta Pasta Recipes

STOVETOP CHICKEN SPAGHETTI

Steps:

• Cook the pasta in lightly salted water in conjunction with the package instructions until not quite al dente and still quite chewy. Drain and set aside, reserving 3 cups of the pasta water.
• Place a large saucepan over high heat and add 2 tablespoons butter. Add the chicken and cook until browned and almost cooked through, about 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, place a skillet over medium heat and add the remaining 2 tablespoons butter. When the butter has melted, add the panko and 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley. Season with salt and pepper, then toss and cook until golden brown, about 3 minutes.
• Add the bell pepper and onion to the pan with the chicken and cook until they have slightly softened, about a minute, then add the pimientos and stir. Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the cream of mushroom soup, pasta water and milk, then bring to a simmer. Add the Worcestershire sauce, remaining 2 teaspoons dried parsley, cayenne and seasoned salt to taste, followed by the cheeses, a handful at a time. Stir until completely incorporated. Add the frozen peas followed by the cooked pasta, then stir and cook until the pasta is perfectly cooked, a couple of minutes. Add salt and pepper, stir again, then sprinkle the toasted parsley breadcrumbs over the top.

CHICKEN ROTINI STOVETOP CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta, and cook for 8 to 10 minutes, or until al dente; drain.
• Combine half-and-half and butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Boil gently, stirring, until mixture has reduced to 1 1/2 to 1 2/3 cups. Remove pan from heat; whisk in cheese, basil, oregano, chives, and parsley. Cover, and set aside.
• Saute chicken in a large skillet until lightly browned on both sides. Stir in green and red bell pepper, and cook until vegetables are tender, and chicken is no longer pink in the middle.
• In a casserole dish, combine the hot cooked pasta, chicken mixture, and sauce. Mix well, and serve immediately.
