Method

Serves 4-6

This light and delicious pasta dish makes a little bit of chicken go a long way. I usually shred the cooked meat with two forks, which results in a delicate yet filling meal. Adjust the flavours to suit your own personal taste.

Cook the pasta until al dente. For fresh pasta, allow around 3 minutes in boiling salted water.

Drain the pasta lightly and return to the pan.

Add a good chunk of the butter and all of the garlic and toss through the hot pasta.

Grate in the lemon zest, and add some of the juice.

Fold in the sliced or shredded chicken and add a dash of the pasta water to moisten the pasta. Add the parsley and toss well.

Taste and add more butter or lemon if you feel you need it.

Serve immediately with grated parmesan if desired.
