Introduction

My favourite fix when I crave a creamy pasta, with less than 400 calories. Much healthier than going out, and tastes just like restaurant food! My favourite fix when I crave a creamy pasta, with less than 400 calories. Much healthier than going out, and tastes just like restaurant food!

Ingredients

    1 pack fresh fettucini
    400g boneless, skinless chicken breast
    6 cloves garlic
    1 onion
    Salt and fresh ground black pepper
    Fresh or dried herbs, such as thyme or rosemary
    About 10 mushrooms
    One can of fat free evaporated milk, such as Carnation
    1 egg yolk
    1/2 c parmesan cheese, grated

Directions

Cut the chicken into 2cm pieces. Bring a pot of water to the boil for the pasta

Crush the garlic and finely chop the onion. Saute with water or a little oil with the salt, pepper and herbs in a large pot until soft. While these are cooking, slice the mushrooms. Add the chicken and mushrooms to the pan and cook until the chicken is done.
Add the evaporated milk and bring to a slow simmer

By now the water for the pasta should be boiling. Drop into the pot and cook according to instructions until almost done. This should only take a few minutes. Drain and add to the sauce mixture.
Quickly stir in the egg yolk to help thicken. Remove from the heat and squeeze in the juice of half a lemon. Mix and cool slightly. The sauce should thicken on standing
