We love this super simple cream sauce to use in our take of a chicken alfredo. Porcini BBQ Genie has long been a favourite of ours to use in pasta, and we aren't holding back here! It rich umami flavour brings out something special in this classic dish.
We broke up the creamy pasta with some nutritious spinach - you can add even more to make it green heavy! it's all about preference.
4-6
Italian
Pasta
2 tbsp Porcini BBQ Genie
2 chicken breasts, sliced across into ½ inch pieces, roughly
1/4 cup olive oil
1/2 cup pecorino cheese (or parmesan)
375 grams fettuccine pasta
Boil water in a large pot and cook pasta according to the instructions. Strain and save about a cup of the pasta water.
In a small bowl, toss together the chicken, 1 tbsp Porcini BBG Genie spice and the olive oil.
Heat the oil in a large pan over medium-high heat; add the chicken and spread out to create an even layer if possible. Allow to cook, without moving until starting to brown. Flip and brown the other side. Continue cooking until the chicken is cooked through and nicely browned. Remove from heat and set aside.
Turn the heat down to medium, and add the cream. Heat through, scrapping any bits off the bottom of the pan. Add the grated garlic, last 1 tbsp of Porcini BBQ Genie and butter; stir until emulsified.
Add in the spinach and cook until starting to wilt down, then add the chicken back to the pan and the parmesan. Stir together to incorporate all these delicious ingredients. Add salt to taste, I don’t think we added any, so it’s really all personal preference.
Add the drained pasta to the large pan and using tongs, toss around until combined. Add a splash of the reserved pasta water until the creamy consistency is to your liking. Give it a minute between splashing in the pasta water to allow the water to absorb and do its thing.
Serve with extra parmesan if you have it. Enjoy!
Should be in more stores, Superstore, Sobeys are missing a bet here.
There are meals that I cook with it
That I like
Very much.
Miam!
I got one jar of this, and didn't know what to do with it. It was Taco Tuesday, so I decided to try to miss it while making the beef.
I would have to say that it ended up working, and I found my tacos were enhanced.
Love, love, love Big Cove Foods spice blends.
They have amazing combinations for all kinds of flavours!
We used this combo to try out blends new to us and we've enjoyed every one so far!
My cousin and her husband came to visit me in Dominica West Indies. They brought along Egyptian summer and hot jerk spices from.Big Cove Foods!!! The taste sensation just blew my mind. I made a stirfry of chicken with vegetables using the Egyptian summer. The flavor was sensational. I used the hot jerk on some locally caught fresh mahi-mahi. It was absolutely extraordinary. I have a friend who’s coming to visit me in August and I’m hoping that she will be able to bring me a few of the others as well. I am hooked line and sinker. All the best with your business. I highly recommend these spices.. 💕
These little boxes of spice varieties are great! I’m taking them to Ontario this week and will use them as the perfect little ‘hostess gifts’ I use Big Cove spices all the time. ‘Mary had a’ is my favourite. I use it on everything! (I don’t even like lamb so I definitely don’t just use it for that, lol!)
I repurchased this tasty blend when it was available again. I would say it's a medium heat so it's a nice option to have. We also enjoy the Ghost Taco blend but use it sparingly for that extra kick!
Travelled to Cape Breton ( Baddeck, where I was born and raised ) a couple of years ago and found these amazing spices. Been ordering ever since. Shipping to Toronto covered for an order big enough ( which we do ). Pick it up at the One of a Kind Show when we can. Use on meats and roasted veggies.
Sent an assortment to Yellowknife for a birthday gift. Getting happy reports back. I knew I would.
We missed this blend. It’s been a staple in our house for a number of years. Use it in stirfys and on pork.
Purchased at the OOAK show in TO. Love this blend and made the chicken/rice dish on the site. Making it on repeat!
My second time purchasing Ghost Taco and it’s unreal. Perfect amount of spice and no fillers like starch that a lot of other blends have. Great on chicken and beef.
On top of that my package got stuck with the Canada Post Strike and when they learned I was still waiting they sent me a brand new package through a different shipper. Amazing customer service guys, thanks!
What I love about these spices is that they may come individually packaged, but I still turn on a bit more wild, by mixing one package with another. Have you tried Taco Enhancer with Red Rub? Amazing
