Istruzioni

If serving with chicken, cook the chicken your preferred method. I season it with salt and pepper and cook it in a skillet about 12 minutes each side or until it's 165º internally. Please cook the chicken any way you prefer.

Heat olive oil in a large skillet on medium heat. When shimmering and heated, add the onions and a generous pinch of salt. Cook on medium/low stirring frequently until evenly browned and caramelized. About 30-40 minutes. This process can take longer depending on the thickness of the onions.

Add the minced garlic and fresh thyme. Sauté for 2 minutes. Add the sherry wine to deglaze the pan. Next, add the flour and mix it in well. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, until thickened.

Pour in the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce and water. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Add the pasta, bring it to a simmer and cook for 10-12 minutes or until the pasta is al dente. Different shapes and brands of pasta will vary in cooking time. You may need to add an extra 1/4 - 1/2 cup of water if the pasta soaks all the liquid up too quickly.

Once the pasta is cooked to your liking, give it a taste. Add more salt or Worcestershire if desired. Pour in the cream and add the chopped chicken Give it a mix and garnish with dried parsley and or toasted bread crumbs. Serve and enjoy!

Toasted Breadcrumbs

Add the breadcrumbs to a medium sized skillet. Place the skillet on low. Season the breadcrumbs with .5 tsp salt, pepper and any other flavors you might enjoy.

Tossing often, toast them on low until they darken a bit in color to a brown color. Take them off the heat and set aside until serving.
