This recipe is a combination of two different recipes I found in Monica Ahlberg’s “Vardags Mat”. It has since become a staple at Casa Gustafsson

Ingredients

  • Chicken (preferably chicken thighs)
  • Sage leaves
  • Bacon (regular sliced), chopped and pan-fried

For the tagliatelle:

  • Tagliatelle (egg or regular)
  • Zucchini (1 large or 2 medium), sliced into tagliatelle with a peeler
  • Crême fraîche (1.5-2dl)
  • Stock (fonds du chef, chicken or stock cube), without water
  • Parsley (frozen works well)
  • Lemon juice and lemon zest, grated

Instructions

Fry the bacon first, then the sage into the lemon fat. Then reserve both bacon and sage on the side, while the chicken fries in the same pan.

Boil the tagliatelle, add the zucchini tagliatelle in the water during the last minute. Miz the cream sauce in a small pan, then mix into the pasta-zucchini mix just when it’s drained.
