The Subiaco Monastery in Italy is incredibly beautiful and serene. Angels seem to fly from the mountains as cloud thrust about in a rushing wind. Food in the mountains is always simple, spontaneous. If all you have is a skillet, you will do fine. For this dish, all you will need to buy a package of boneless and skinless chicken breasts.If you don't have in the pantry, a small tube of tomato paste, and a package of angel hair pasta and don't have time to make pasta from scratch, then stop by the store. As an additional side, I prepared fresh sliced cucumber from the garden with olive oil, balsamic vinegar and a dollop of sour cream topped with fresh parsley.
Before cooking, prepare your cumber salad by washing, peeling and slicing your cucumber into a glass dish, drizzle with olive oil, balsamic vinegar and mix the sour cream on the end... before serving.
Now, take your covered skillet and melt in 4 tbs of olive oil to that add chopped garlic and a few sprigs of fresh rosemary. I also like to add some fresh dried oregano, red pepper and a pinch of sea salt. As soon as the oil and seasonings are hot, add your chicken, saute on high heat till browned on both sides.
Turn down the heat to med and add 4-5 tbs of tomato paste, blending with your oils/seasoning to cover your chicken. Cover and cook on low heat for 8 min. In the meantime, prepare water for boiling your pasta. When it begins to roll, add a few pinches of salt and add your pasta. Angel hair cooks rather quickly so keep stirring it and checking for tenderness. Once it is tender, drain and rinse and pour out to a low lipped dish. Your chicken and sauce will be ready to lay over the top. Of course, put on the Parmesan!
That's all there is to it.
Tutti a Tavola!
