Prematch pasta

Prematch pasta with chicken and bacon

Reviewed by Vzano Recipes editorial team ·

Creamy tomato rigatoni with grilled chicken, crisp bacon and Parmesan

Helene Spilling told NRK that she makes prematch pasta whenever Martin Ødegaard is due to play. NRK gives no measures, so the 400 g of pasta and all other quantities are Vzano's practical four-serving adaptation.

Method

  1. 01

    Prepare

    Finely chop the onion and garlic. Grate the Parmesan; portion the chicken and bacon.

  2. 02

    Fry aromatics

    Soften the onion in oil. Add garlic and cook briefly without browning.

  3. 03

    Simmer sauce

    Add tomato sauce and simmer. Stir in cream and reduce until it coats a spoon. Season.

  4. 04

    Cook toppings

    Cook the chicken through in oven, grill or pan. Crisp the bacon. Use either or both.

  5. 05

    Boil pasta

    Boil pasta by packet directions. Reserve a little cooking water, then drain.

  6. 06

    Combine

    Toss pasta with sauce. Loosen if needed and top with chicken, bacon and Parmesan.

Sauce checkpoints

The measures are editorial because NRK says the original is cooked by feel.

Use pasta water if the sauce becomes too thick.
