Ingredients
 

  • 1 plant Basil plant
  • 100 ml Olive oil
  • 1 toe Garlic
  • 30 g Pine nuts
  • 2 tbsp Grana Padano grated
  • 1 tsp Sea salt from the mill
  • 100 ml Liquid cream
  • 0,25 tsp Black pepper from the mill
  • 600 g Spaghetti
  • 100 g Chicken breast fillet

Instructions
 

  • Put the pine nuts in a pan and toast them without oil.
  • Pick the basil leaves, then wash them and put them in a blender. Peel the garlic clove and place in the blender with the pine nuts, olive oil and Grana Padano and mix until you get a pesto.
  • Put the pesto in a saucepan, season with salt and pepper, add a dash of cream and simmer for about 5 minutes on a medium heat. The pesto burns quickly, so stir often.
  • At the same time, cook the pasta with a little salt and olive oil and the chicken breast fillets (seasoned with sea salt and pepper)
  • Now form a nest out of the spaghetti on the plate, pour the sauce (2-3 tablespoons) over it and garnish with the chicken fillet cut into strips. Finally, add the finely grated Grana Padano to the sauce.
