Fettuccine with Roasted Chicken, Broccoli and Pine Nuts

By Karen Stueve Gluten free

This recipe is easy to do if you prepare things ahead, toast the pine nuts, steam the broccoli, chop the parsley, zest the lemon and grate the parmesan cheese. It is best with freshly grated parmesan cheese rather than the ready-made stuff. Very delicious!

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Steam the broccoli until tender crisp, about 15 minutes, no more, and then immediately remove to a large bowl of ice water to cool. Drain and set aside when cool.
  2. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, and add fettuccine, cook for 12-13 minutes until al dente. Drain, reserving 1/2 cup of the cooking liquid.
  3. While this is cooking, bring the broth and the lemon juice to a boil in a heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Boil until it is reduced by about half, around 5 minutes.
  4. Add the chicken and simmer just until heated through, about 2 minutes.
  5. Add the broccoli to the chicken mixture and stir to combine.
  6. Add the pasta, 1/2 cup of parmesan, pine nuts, parsley, oil and lemon zest.
  7. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  8. Mound the pasta into bowls, and top with the remaining parmesan.
