Weekday Easy Fusion Pasta

My family loves a hearty plate of homemade pasta. Its simple and easy to put together and it usually depends on what I have in the fridge. This recipe here is similar to aglio olio but with a whole lot of ingredients thrown in - chicken, prawns, bacon, etc. 

Its very flavorful and I'm sure it will be on repeat once you try it!

Ingredients

8 medium sized prawns

1/2 cup chicken breast, diced

1/2 cup bacon, chopped

1/2 cup mushroom, sliced

1/4 cup pine nuts

2 tablespoon grated garlic

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon oregano 

1 teaspoon chili flakes

1 teaspoon pepper

1 teaspoon butter / 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

chopped Italian parsley for garnishing

salt to taste

Instructions:

1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

2. Toast the pine nuts on a skillet and set aside.

3. Grill the bacon until crispy on a skillet and set aside.

                                                            

4. Marinate the prawns with oregano, pepper and salt for a 10 minutes. Grill them on a skillet (I used a non-stick pan) with butter and set aside.

                                                           

5. Heat olive oil and garlic in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Be careful not to let the garlic burn. 

6. Add the chicken and mushroom. Season with pepper, chili flakes and salt. Stir-fry for about 5-7 minutes, until cooked and it starts browning.

7. Add the cooked pasta to the skillet. Toss everything together until the pasta is well-coated with the sauce.

8. Serve on a plate and garnish with grilled prawns, bacon, toasted pine nuts and chopped Italian parsley.
