Yes, another pasta dish. Your probably getting sick to death of them, but not me, I LOVE Pasta. Its my favourite food, so i'm loving the fact that in 23 days i'll be arriving in Rome and feasting with the Italians for 4 days!

Anyway, this is my favourite pasta dish, best suited to summer. P.S. I am in no way saying that this is authentic Italian-but I do think it tastes damn good.

Citrus Chilli Chicken Pasta



Spicy chilli, tangy lemon and lime, basil, chicken and pasta, rounded off with lots of parmesan to add a creaminess.

Recipe:
serves 4
500gm chicken breast, diced
1 1/2 tsp minced chilli (more or less to suit taste)
2 lemons
2 limes
2 tsp mixed herbs (dried) or 2 Tbsp mixed herbs (fresh)
1 Shallot, finely chopped
4 cloves garlic, finely chopped (or 2 tsp minced garlic)
1 packet fresh fettucine
parmesan cheese, grated
good quality extra virgin olive oil (a grassy one)
basil leaves

Marinate chicken in chilli, herbs, 1/2 the garlic and juice and zest of 1 lemon and 1 lime for about 1/2 hour (or longer). Bring pot of salted water to boil and cook pasta. Meanwhile, in hot frying pan cook shallots and remaining garlic until soft. Add chicken mix and cook through. Add chicken to drained pasta. Add juice of remaining lemon and lime, a few glugs of olive oil and a small handful of parmesan. Mix together and serve. Top with grated parmesan, basil leaves and some more olive oil if liked.

Yum!

Thats it for today, sorry for the short post, but the textbooks await as I countdown the days to my first exam.
