“Chicken Ragu” from “RecipeTin Eats”

Kirstin: I’m a big fan of pasta with a chicken sauce: I still make Bill Granger’s sauce from his Italian book on a regular basis. But one person in this house is STILL not keen on tomatoes, so I had to think carefully about when I was going to make this ie. when this particular individual was not around. We finally had all systems go when our not enjoying tomatoes family member went to a gig back in the summer and I set about making this for the remainder of the family. Maehashi says it takes 2 hours to cook, after a 20 minute prep time. And I think that’s about right on the timings. It really was a wonderful 2 hours of all the lovely smells, flavours while enjoying that summer evening light. She describes this as “rich and luscious – a pasta dream come true”. And what a dream it was! (If you too want to make a dreamy chicken ragu sauce, you can find the recipe here ).
