Always remember that these recipes are only guidelines, feel free to experiment and substitute. I find that keeping notes when I try new recipes is very helpful and it will allow you to tweak until it’s perfect for you. Also always try a new recipe on yourself first before trying it out on your guests to ensure success. If for any reason my recipes do not turn out, please email me at recipes@gffoods.com.

Creative Balsamic Chicken Pasta

• 2-3 tbs. balsamic vinegar
• 450-500g pasta
• 2 tsp. Creative Affair
• 1/2 lb chicken, pork, or turkey
• 1/3 cup olive oil
• Salt & Pepper
• *Hot chili pepper flakes  (optional)

1) Dice meat, sprinkle with salt and pepper and set aside.

2) Put your water to boil for the pasta.

3) Heat oil in a skillet over high heat, add meat and brown.

4) Lower heat to medium add balsamic vinegar and cook for approx. 5-10 minutes covered.

5) Add Creative Affair and stir, cover and continue to cook until done.

6) Cook pasta as per directions on pasta package while meat is cooking.

7) Drain water and add to cooked meat, toss to coat and serve immediately. 

Note:

1) If cooking string pasta; spaghetti, linguini, fettuccini etc. I find that you may need to add a small amount of the pasta water, it keeps it from sticking.

2) If you decide to use pork tender loin it works well and is easy to dice.

3) If you decide to use chicken I prefer thighs, even though more difficult to dice they are juicier and have more flavour, however chicken breast is fine too.
