Savor our Creamy Chicken Pesto Tagliatelle - a sumptuous feast that combines the goodness of succulent chicken breast, fresh basil pesto, and smooth creme fraiche atop perfectly cooked tagliatelle. Finished with a touch of fresh parsley, this lavishly simple dish turns dinner into a small celebratio...
Place the fresh tagliatelle in boiling, salted water in a pot and cook until al dente, usually between 2-3 minutes. Once cooked, strain and set aside, reserving a couple of tablespoons of the pasta water.

While the pasta is cooking, heat the olive oil in a large pan on a medium heat, then add the chopped onion and cook until they soften and start to caramelize.
3
Add the cubed chicken to the pan, season with salt and pepper, and cook thoroughly until the chicken is browned on all sides.

Reduce the heat to low and stir in the Genovese pesto and creme fraiche until well blended.

Add the cooked tagliatelle to the chicken pesto mixture, gently stirring it in to ensure an even coat. If necessary, add a little of the reserved pasta water to loosen the sauce.

Serve the pasta hot, sprinkled with fresh parsley and grated Parmesan to taste.
