"My number one recipe of all time. Found in Starweek magazine posted from the chef at the Unionville House restaurant. Easy, one-pot meal and so creamy and delicious. I like this served with with garlic bread but is pretty rich on it's own. *Double quantities if serving more than 4."

ingredients

1 lb medium pasta shell
¹⁄₃ cup white wine
¹⁄₄ cup extra-strong chicken stock
3 tablespoons fresh finely chopped dill
1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast, cut into small bite size pieces
1 ¹⁄₂ cups whipping cream (35%)
1 lemon, juice of, fresh
grated parmesan cheese

directions

• In a large pot of boiling water, cook pasta shells for 3 minutes to partly cook them. Drain, rinse with cold water and set pasta aside.
• Over moderately high heat, add wine, stock, dill and chicken to pot; bring to a boil and then simmer, stirring occasionally until the liquid is reduced by half (~10 mins as the chicken will also release liquid).
• Add cream and lemon juice to the chicken and bring the liquid back to a boil. Add the drained pasta shells and simmer over moderately high heat, stirring constantly until the liquid is reduced by half again and the sauce has thickened (~5-7 mins).
• Add parmesan to the pasta and salt & pepper if desired.
• Stir to mix thoroughly and serve immediately.
