ingredients

2 large chicken breast halves, boneless skinless cut into 1-inch cubes
salt
pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 shallots, minced
16 ounces farfalle pasta, fusilli or 16 ounces penne pasta
¹⁄₂ cup chicken stock
8 ounces gorgonzola, rind removed, cut into small pieces
³⁄₄ cup heavy cream
1 lemon, zest of, grated
salt & freshly ground black pepper
6 fresh sage leaves, coarsely chopped

directions

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Generously salt the boiling water, add the pasta and cook until al dente, 9-11 minutes; drain.
In the meantime, season cubed chicken with salt and pepper. In a large frying pan, heat olive oil. Saute chicken breasts until cooked through. Set aside.
In the same pan used for chicken breasts, melt the butter. Add the shallots and saute until soft, about 4 minutes.
Reduce the heat under the frying pan to low and add the stock, cheese, cream and lemon zest. Season with salt and pepper to taste and stir until all the ingredients are smooth and melted, about 4 minutes.
Add the pasta to the frying pan. Remove from the heat. Add the chicken and sage; toss briefly until the pasta is well coated with the sauce. If the sauce seems too thick, add a bit more chicken stock or a splash of hot water. Pour into a large, shallow bowl. Serve immediately.

I'm just me, mother, grandmother...friend to many and a Louisianian. My Cajun and French Quarter Italian descent afforded me exposure to some of the best of foods. My passions are my family, decorating, cooking and gardening. Those very passions push me into constant awareness with always looking for something new to delight the senses, thus my favorite idiom...Inspire me, puuuullllllleeeeeeease! ...and I mean it, too. God Bless America!
