I just love fresh pasta, ever since I got my new pasta attachment for my Kitchen Aid Machine I’ve never bought dried pasta again. Having to use up some pesto I had left, this little dish was the result. The sun dried tomatoes just added that little extra flavour.

Makes 2-4

For the pasta:

275g ‘OO’ Grade Pasta Flour

3 large eggs

1. Sift the flour into the large bowl on Kitchen Aid mixer or work surface.
2. Make a well in the middle. Crack one egg in and whisk gently.
3. Gently with your hands start to incorporate the flour starting at the bottom, once it starts to come together crack the 2nd egg, then the 3rd until it becomes sticky.
4. Using the dough hook on the mixer, knead together until you get a smooth like dough. Remove, cover with cling film and leave for about 1 hour.
5. Attach the pasta attachment, cut the pasta dough into 4 sections.
6. Flatten dough with hand then feed through the pasta maker, No. 1 x 5, No. 3 x 2, No. 5/6 x 1
7. Change attachment to fettuccine and feed through. Hang until ready to cook.
8. Heat a large pan of slightly salted water and cook for about 3-4 minutes. Strain

For the toppings:

2 chicken breasts

1/4 jar sundried tomatoes

3 tbsp green pesto

Handfuls of Broccoli & Baby Spinach

1. I steam cooked my chicken, broccoli and Spinach. (8 minutes for chicken, 3 minutes for veg)
2. Slice chicken into bite size pieces.
3. Place pasta into a bowl with chicken, broccoli, spinach and sundried tomatoes, spoon the pest into the bowl and mix through until chicken and pasta is coated.
4. Serve. Yummy!
5. For extra spice you could add in some chilli.
