Sunday Supper hosted by Meet Me at Mikes.
My smalls are not the best eaters. I'm trying to encourage them to broaden their tastes a bit. The big girl especially would happily live on white food alone! With my goal in sight I picked up some teeny asparagus at the fruit shop this week & with this image in my head set about making this for their dinner. It's more of a construction than a recipe.
They LOVED it!
Birds Nest Pasta
1 Chicken Breast
Sweet Paprika
1 bunch tiny asparagus - chopped
1 handful of mushrooms - sliced
1 egg per person
1 birds nest pasta per person
Rub Sweet Paprika into the chicken breast & pan fry. Slice finely & set aside.
Cook the mushrooms in the same frypan.
Boil water in a large saucepan. Steam asparagus & set aside. Use this water to cook the pasta.
Return the sliced chicken & asparagus to the frypan with the mushrooms & keep warm.
In a separate pan poach the eggs.
Place the pasta in the centre of the plate. Then scatter your vegie & chicken mix around the pasta. Top with the egg sprinkled with Parmesan (& cracked pepper if it's for anyone over 12).
Enjoy.
I think I'll have a couple of Stacey's cheese cubes & cocktail onions for befores & I'd kill for a Melbourne Bitter Cam. I'm so glad you guys could make it to Slide Night.
