Spaghetti with Chicken Fillet in Sour Cream Sauce
Instructions
Boil water in a pot. Toss in the spaghetti, stir, and salt. Cook for 10 minutes. Drain the water, rinse the spaghetti with clean cold water.
While the spaghetti is cooking, you can prepare the sauce. For this, it is necessary to cut the chicken fillet into small pieces.
Grate the hard cheese on a medium grater. Chop the garlic finely.
Slightly fry the pieces of chicken fillet. Add a little water to it. Put the chopped garlic into the pot. Cover with a lid and simmer for 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, you can fry the spaghetti. Transfer the spaghetti from the pot to a preheated and oiled skillet. Fry until golden brown for proper finished signature character.
To the stewed meat and garlic, add the sour cream and grated cheese. Salt, stir. If necessary, add a spoonful of flour. To ensure the sauce is not too runny. Once the dish is ready, remove the pot from the heat. Serve the dish hot. If desired, garnish with fresh parsley and ripe tomatoes. Bon appetit!

FAQ
Can I use other pasta shapes? +
Yes, fettuccine, linguine, penne, or fusilli all work as substitutes producing distinct character.

Stored covered in the refrigerator, the pasta keeps for 1-2 days at peak quality. Sour cream sauce may separate upon reheating — stir well and add splash of milk to restore consistency. The pasta does not freeze well due to sour cream sauce separation and pasta texture changes. Best consumed fresh same-day for the brightest most appealing finished trattoria-style results across multiple romantic-dinner applications throughout the year reliably.
Can I use cream instead of sour cream? +

Each option produces distinct character: sour cream is most traditional Russian-style and tangy, heavy cream is most Italian-style and rich, half-and-half is most balanced. Use 100 ml heavy cream to replace 2-3 tablespoons sour cream. Reduce flour amount if using heavy cream as it's naturally thicker. Choose based on preference for proper finished sauce variations consistently throughout the year reliably for proper personalized finished results.
