Whole wheat fettucini with steamed broccoli and chicken in alfredo sauce. I know it's too early for chicken alfredo but it's making my tummy growl! :)

2 skinless chicken breasts, cut in slices about 1/4 " thick then in bite-size morsels
3 - 4 leaves of sage
1 cup broccoli florets, steamed (optional)
1 red pepper, seeded, coarsley diced, sautéed in olive oil or butter (optional)
8 oz pasta (fettuccine, tagliatelle) or 12 oz (3/4 package) penne, etc. (fettuccine is heavier).
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature (or 2 of olive oil for sauteeing the chicken and 2 of butter for the sauce)
1 cup freshly grated Parmigiano Reggiano (Parmesan), at room temperature, plus extra cheese to pass at the table
1 1/4 cup heavy cream or Half and Half (or 1/2 of each)
salt and freshly ground pepper (use white pepper if you have it)
a pinch of grated nutmeg
Pasta pot; pan large enough to hold all ingredients and pasta.

SET the pasta water to boil in your pasta pot.

IN the large sauté pan large enough to hold all the ingredients, sauté the chicken in 2 tablespoons of butter or good olive oil until lightly browned. Set chicken aside on a warm plate.

ADD the pasta to the boiling water in the pasta pot. Remember to reserve some of the cooking water to moisten your chicken Alfredo if it is too dry.

IN the sauté pan: ADD the heavy cream, 2 tablespoons of butter and 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese to the same pan. Keep cooking on low-medium heat, stirring occasionally until the mixture reduces slightly and thickens.

ADD pinch of nutmeg, 3 - 4 leaves of sage, salt and pepper to taste. Stir.

ADD the cooked chicken and optional ingredients and mix again. Taste for salt. Add a TBSP or two of the pasta cooking water if too dry.

ADD the cooked and well-drained pasta to the sauce. Mix well with a wooden spoon.

TURN into a warmed serving bowl, or directly onto warmed plates.

VARIATION: Turn pasta mixture into a baking dish, sprinkle 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese on top, and set under broiler for about 30 seconds, until flecked with brown.

Chicken Tikka with Baby Spinach and Tomatoes

2 Servings
This is a very easy recipe using ginger and turmeric, two of my favorite seasonings.

Ingredients:
8 ounces chicken breast (one large or two small breasts) boneless, skinless
½ cup plain, low-fat yogurt
2 tsp garlic, chopped
2 tsp ginger root, chopped
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp ground turmeric
1 tbsp fresh mint or coriander, chopped (optional)
2 cups cherry tomatoes (preferably organic)
2 cups baby spinach leaves (preferably organic)

Instructions:
1. Mix the yogurt well with the garlic, ginger, spices and fresh mint. Cut chicken into fairly large chunks, about five or

six pieces for each breast. Soak the chicken pieces in the yogurt mixture, turning over to make sure all parts are coated. Let the chicken sit in the fridge in the marinade for an hour or two, if possible.

2. Preheat the broiler. Place the chicken pieces on a lightly-oiled baking pan or piece of tinfoil, and broil for 5 minutes. Turn the chicken pieces over, add the cherry tomatoes and broil for another five minutes. (The pan should be at least 10 inches from the broiler.)

4. Put spinach leaves in a saucepan with ¼ cup of boiling water. Cover tightly and steam for 3 minutes. Drain. Serve the chicken and tomatoes on a bed of spinach.
