I love chicken linguini with taragon.
2 chicken breasts
1 teaspoon of lazy garlic or 1-2 cloves chopped
1 decent size green chilli
salt n pepper to taste
Linguini
Fresh Taragon (or dried if needs be)
Olive oil
Chop the chicken, chilli n garlic and cook with olive oil in a pan. Add salt n pepper to taste.
Boil the linguini, when ready, drain and leave maybe 3 teaspoons of the cooking water in the pan.
Add the cooked chicken, chilli, garlic and sauce to the pasta and stir in the fresh taragon. Maybe add a bit more olive oil when stirring if thats your bag.
Serve!

I prefer Nigella's recipe:- Cook spaghetti.
- Fry pancetta (or sliced bacon).
- When done, add dry Vermouth and reduce.
- Add a knob of butter.
- Add grated fresh Parmesan and nutmeg to a beaten egg plus yolk of an egg.
- Drain spaghetti, add pancetta, stir, add egg and cheese mixture, stir, serve.
Carbonara (sort of) for me.
Chop some pancetta or smoked bacon finely. Fry it with some finely chopped shallots and garlic in butter.
While your pasta's cooking combine 4 egg yolks with a tub of double cream and a good handful of finely grated parmesan.
When the pasta's cooked lift it straight out of the water and dump it in the pan with the bacon / pancetta etc (don't worry about draining it properly, it makes for a better sauce). Give it a stir, turn the heat off, and stir in your egg / cream / cheese mix. If the pan's too hot (it shouldn't be given what you just cooked in it) you'll get pasta with an omolette. If it's not, you'll get a lovely rich and creamy carbonara of sorts.
Takes 10 minutes tops and tastes a million times better than the tubs of spunk with chunks of fatty unidentifiable pig parts in them that you get at Tesco.

Pasta, creme fresh, torn basil leaves, capers, juice and zest of half a lemon, smoked salmon, black pepper and Parmesan. Ten minutes tops to prepare, cook pasta drain and stir in creme, chop or tear salmon and put that in, chuck in the rest of the ingredients and serve with a nice glass of dry white. If you have a liitle more time chop some leaks very finely and soften with some garlic, add a small amount of white wine, the lemon juice and zest and the creme right at the end stir the sauce into the pasta add the salmon and scoff.
- cook pasta till al-dante. and drain.
- place pasta back into pot and mix Red pesto in. Cover for 5min so that pasta can cook abit more (absorbing some of the pesto sauce).
- plate up, top with whatever cheeses you want, and other things.
If you want to add other stuff to it, put pesto in a pan with cooked some cooked/cold meats and heat up, then chuck it into the pasta.

fry chopped smoked streaky bacon or pancetta until crispy. blot and put to one side.
fry onions until soft, then add 2 large crushed cloves of garlic and a large glass of white wine. reduce, adding finely sliced mushroom near the end.
add thick cream and stir. add to fresh pasta and slice some parmesan over the top.
easily less than 10mins start to finish. the above recipe with vermouth sounds good, i might try that tomorrow.
