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.
4
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the Genovese pesto and creme fraiche until well blended.
5
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.
6
Serve the pasta hot, sprinkled with fresh parsley and grated Parmesan to taste.
