Smoked Chicken &Artichoke Pasta image

I think this is a nice light easy pasta dish (and a change from the creamy sauces). It's a good way of using leftover turkey or ham for a variation.

Time 35m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

500 g dry pasta
1 leek, white part only
2 1/2 tablespoons oil
2 cloves garlic, crushed
600 g smoked chicken (I have used turkey or ham too)
150 ml chicken stock
4 whole artichokes, quartered (I use the ones canned in brine and rinse them)
2 ripe tomatoes
1/2 cup toasted pine nuts (, I cook them in a dry pan over a low heat shaking them until they're golden)
salt and pepper
1 dash Tabasco sauce

Steps:

  • Cook the pasta following the directions, drain and keep warm.
  • Wash the leek well and slice thinly.
  • Heat the oil in a large pan, add the leek and garlic and cook over a medium heat stirring occasionally for about 10 minutes.
  • Add the chicken, stock, artichokes and tomatoes and cook uncovered for about 5 minutes or until the chicken is heated through thoroughly.
  • Stir in the pine nuts and season to taste.
  • Toss through the pasta to combine and serve.
