Okay, okay, I know I might be slightly biased when I say that, but seriously trust me. It's really good. I mean like REALLY good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It's creamy, it's chicken and it's pasta, what more could one want?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is actually a real oldie from the blog, one that I recently revisited because it popped into my head when I spotted a box of linguine in my pantry and really felt the photo that was originally on this recipe needed to be updated because it just didn't do it justice and show it in its full deliciousness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now onto this recipe for Paprika Chicken with Roasted Butternut Squash and Linguine. It was actually an accidental creation. Sometimes those are the best right? I love butternut squash and 9\/10 when it's roasted I just have to sprinkle on a little paprika. They are just the perfect combination. It's as though the paprika does something magical, giving it a lovely golden colour as it roasts. Delicious!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I love butternut squash and 9\/10 when it's roasted I just have to sprinkle on a little paprika. They are just the perfect combination. It's as though the paprika does something magical, giving it a lovely golden kind of caramelization as it roasts. Delicious!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So when I decided on some chicken to go with it, that just had to have some paprika too, along with some onion and garlic of course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One pasta dish I love is Carbonara, and my <\/span> Spaghetti Carbonara<\/span><\/a><\/strong><\/span> is seriously good, plus there is no yoghurt or quark in sight if you are one of those hater's. Definitely another one to add to your list if you haven't yet tried it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many assume that carbonara has some kind of cream added to it, but that flavour comes solely from a mixture of eggs and cheese.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So when thinking of what to use to give this pasta dish that amazing finish, I used a similar technique for this. Adding a little pasta water, parmesan and 1 egg to a bowl and whisk to a creamy sauce and stirring it through right at the end. It coats the pasta making it so silky and delicious. Plus you really do not need much cheese at all. Just 30g in a recipe that serves 4.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
