No dairy here, folks. This savoury pasta relies on almond milk for its creamy texture. Rotisserie or leftover chicken help it all come together in a snap.
Ingredients
- 3 tbsp olive oil , divided
- 8 oz cremini mushrooms , sliced
- 2 tbsp chopped garlic
- 1/2 cup chopped yellow onion
- 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 1 cup homemade roast chicken stock
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 1/2 cups shredded leftover roast chicken
- salt
- black pepper
- 340 g fettucine , (preferably the kind packaged in nests)
- 1/2 cup Italian parsley leaves , torn
- 1/2 cup chopped toasted almonds
Instructions
- Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add mushrooms and sauté for 2 min or until lightly browned. Add garlic and sauté for 1 min longer. Scrape into a bowl and reserve.
- Turn heat down to mediumlow and add remaining 2 tbsp olive oil to skillet. Add onion and sauté for 2 min or until softened. Add flour and stir for 1 min to cook out floury taste.
- Stirring constantly, add chicken stock, drippings (if you have them) and almond milk. Turn heat to medium-high, bring to a simmer and cook gently until thickened, about 3 min.
- Add reserved mushrooms and chicken and season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Cook fettuccine in boiling salted water until al dente, about 4 min. Drain, reserving ½ cup pasta cooking water.
