Cream Italian pasta with chicken Preparation

Bring the 5-6 quarts water to boiling in a large pot and add 2 bay leaves to the water. Add the spaghetti pasta and cook for 5 minutes or until the pasta is al dente. Drain

Prepare the creamy Sauce: Place a large skillet over medium-low heat. Melt the butter, add the yellow onion and saute for 2-4 minutes or until the onion begins to brown. Add the garlic and saute for another 1 minute. Do not let the garlic brown.

Add the carrots, green and red bell peppers, parsley, green onions, capers, the last bay leave, sage and saute for another 2 min.

Incorporate the chicken and dried spices to the skillet: paprika, black pepper, oregano, and Parmesan cheese. (I like to mix dried spices in a small bowl, and crush with the back of a spoon or use a pestle and mortar)

Mix well, add the heavy cream and pasta and simmer until it begins to thicken.

Serve hot and sprinkle Parmesan cheese on top.

    No cream...no worries! You could use regular milk or low fat milk, just blend 1 cup of room temperature milk with 2 tbsp of flour for 5 min. on high speed or cream/whip speed on your blender. The flour will help thick your sauce. [I posted this recipe.]
