Ingredients
375 grams uncooked fettuccine pasta
1 bunch broccolini or rapini, trimmed and cut into 2-inch lengths
4 pieces Schneiders Chicken Schnitzel
4 slices Schneiders Thick-Cut Bacon
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup light herb and garlic cream cheese
1-3/4 cups chicken broth
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Directions
Cook pasta according to package directions, adding broccolini to cooking liquid in last 2 minutes of cooking. Drain and set aside.
Meanwhile, cook Chicken Schnitzel according to package directions.
In large, deep skillet, cook bacon according to package directions. Transfer to paper towel-lined plate; crumble into bite size pieces. Drain all but 1 tsp of the fat from pan.
Use the same pan as the bacon was cooked, to fry garlic over medium heat until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add cream cheese and broth to pan. Stir in reserved bacon and Parmesan. Cook, stirring, until smooth and bubbly. Add pasta and broccolini, tossing to coat.
Divide pasta into four bowls. Slice Schnitzel into bite size strips and arrange over pasta.
Tips:
Top with extra cheese, chopped fresh parsley and freshly cracked black pepper.
Save some of the pasta water and add it in if your sauce is too thick or if it stands too long before serving. Swap the Chicken Schnitzel with our Pork Schnitzel to add variety and delicious taste, to your new weekday staple.
