Ingredients:

• 1 package of short-cut Roma pasta
• 300g chicken breast, chopped into small pieces
• 1 garlic clove, crushed
• 1 tablespoon of butter
• 1/2 onion, chopped
• 2 or 3 walnuts, ground in a mortar
• 1 cup of parmesan
• 1 teaspoon of basil
• 1 cup of chicken broth
• 1 sprig of thyme
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Olive oil

Preparation:

1. Pour the butter into a pan and fry the garlic for 1 minute. Add the chicken and season with salt. Cook until golden and set aside.
2. Pour some olive oil into the pan to stir-fry the onion. When golden, add the chicken broth, ground walnuts, basil, thyme, salt and pepper. Stir well and cook for a few minutes until the broth has reduced. Add some olive oil for a smoother, thicker texture.
3. Cook the pasta as instructed on the package.
4. Add the chicken and parmesan to the sauce; mix well. Then toss the pasta with the sauce and serve.
