Equipment

  • Large nonstick pan

Ingredients

  • 2 packs Palmini Linguine
  • ¼ Small red onion
  • 1 Red bell pepper
  • 1 Yellow zucchini
  • 1 cup Fresh Broccoli
  • ½ Carrot peeled
  • 4 oz Crimini mushrooms sliced
  • ½ cup Grated Asiago or Parmesan cheese
  • ¼ teaspoon Xanthan gum
  • 2 tablespoon Butter
  • 1 ¼ cup Heavy cream
  • Salt and Pepper
  • 2 Boneless skinless chicken breasts sliced
  • 1 tablespoon Olive oil
  • 2 Garlic cloves pressed or finely minced

Instructions

  • Drain and rinse Palmini noodles.
  • Place in a pot of boiling water, boil for 20 minutes, or until they reach a suitable texture.
  • As the noodles are boiling, prepare your vegetables:
  • Thinly slice the onion. Slice pepper into thin strips.
    Slice Zucchini into ¼" slices, then cut them in half.
    Cut broccoli up into small florets.
    Thinly slice the carrot, slice the mushrooms into ¼" slices.
    Set vegetables aside.
  • In a small bowl, mix the shredded cheese with the xanthan gum. Make sure the xanthan gum is well distributed over the cheese shreds, set aside.
  • In a medium sauce pan, melt butter. Add heavy cream, bring just up to a simmer.
  • Add cheese to the heavy cream, continue stirring until cheese is melted and sauce is smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste, reduce heat to low.
  • In a large fry pan or wok, cook chicken in olive oil until browned on all sides.
    Add onion and garlic, continue cooking until onion goes translucent and chicken is cooked.
  • Add rest of vegetables, saute JUST until warm. You don't want them to actually cook through or go soft.
  • Strain Palmini pasta, gently toss with sauce and vegetables, serve immediately.
