Ingredients
- 200 g spaghetti
- 100 g bacon
- 150 g chicken breast
- 100 g white mushrooms
- 1/2 red onion
- 2 cloves garlic
- 200 ml light cream
- 1 tbsp butter
- to taste fresh parsley
Instructions
- 1Prepare the ingredients
Gather all your ingredients before you begin cooking. Ensure the chicken breast is diced into bite-sized pieces, and the bacon, mushrooms, and red onion are sliced. Having everything ready makes the stir-frying process smooth and efficient.
Tip: Keep your ingredients organized on a tray or in bowls to easily add them to the pan when needed. - 2Melt the butter
Place a knob of butter into a hot frying pan. Use tongs to move the butter around, ensuring it coats the bottom of the pan evenly as it melts and begins to foam.
Tip: Do not let the butter brown too much; once it is melted and bubbling, it is ready for the aromatics. - 3Stir-fry the ingredients
Add the minced garlic, sliced red onion, white mushrooms, bacon, and chicken breast to the pan with the melted butter. Stir-fry the mixture over medium-high heat until the chicken is cooked through and the meat has changed color.
Tip: Stir continuously to ensure the garlic does not burn and the chicken cooks evenly. - 4Add the cream
Once the chicken and vegetables are cooked, pour the light cream into the pan. Stir everything together to incorporate the cream into the juices from the meat and vegetables, creating a rich sauce.
Tip: Pour the cream slowly while stirring to prevent it from curdling. - 5Combine with spaghetti
Add your pre-cooked spaghetti into the pan with the simmering creamy sauce. The noodles will soak up the flavor of the cream and the savory ingredients.
Tip: Ensure your spaghetti is cooked al dente so it maintains a good texture after being tossed in the sauce. - 6Toss and serve
Use tongs to thoroughly toss the spaghetti with the creamy sauce, bacon, and chicken until every strand is well-coated. Serve immediately while hot for the best texture and flavor.
Tip: Toss gently to avoid breaking the pasta noodles while ensuring full coverage of the sauce.
