Cabonara Pot Pie

Hello Pulchritudinous readers,

Today I am here with a new recipe! I came up with this myself as part of my Home Economics class and got really great feedback from my friends and kayaking teammates, so here I am sharing it with you guyssss!


So this Pot Pie apparently tastes like Cabonara Sauce, so I changed it a little and decided to put in some pasta under the sauce(in the pot), and it worked like a gem! The picture above is from my first trial and excuse the bad photography and background. Yes, that is a love heart made from pastry on it. I'll try to get my other picture (probably had better lighting than this!) up soon!

So without further adieu, here is my pot pie recipe!

Ingredients: Olive Oil (about 3 tbsp)
Garlic (2 cloves, finely chopped)
White Onion (half, finely chopped)
Bacon (1 rasher, cut into about 2cm squares)
Chicken (1 chicken breast)
Mushrooms (about 7 pieces, cut into quarts)
Frozen peas, corn and carrots (3/4 cup)
Skim milk (1/2 cup)
Chicken Stock Powder (1/2 cup)
Tasty Cheese (1/4 cup)
Parsley (optional)
Salt and Pepper to taste
Flour and Cornflour as thickening agents
Ready made Puff Pastry

Recipe:

1) Preheat oven to 200 degree.

2) Chop garlic and white onion finely.

3) Add olive oil to pan

4) Add in garlic and white onion and cook till soft but not to brown.

5) Once soft, add in bacon (cut into small cubes) and fry.

6) Remove from heat and empty pan’s content onto a bowl and put aside.

7) Add a little more olive oil onto pan and put in chicken (cut into small cubes) and fry it till cook, but not too cook to remain moisture.

8) Take chicken out of pan and set aside.

9) Add some olive oil and mushrooms (chopped) and stir around over medium heat til cook and slightly golden brown.

10) Add in peas and corn. Stir around in the pan and add in chicken, bacon, onion and garlic mixture.

11) Put in skim milk, tasty cheese and chicken stock. Bring to boil then simmer. If needed, add in some flour
and/or cornflour to thicken!

12) Stir well to prevent the sauce from sticking to the bottom of the pan and burning.

13) Add in a dash of chopped parsley for flavour

14) If desired, add in some cooked pasta in the pot you are going to bake you pie in, then pour the sauce mixture over the pasta, and cover with the puff pastry however you like it. 

Note: When using the recipe, it is advised to not put in all the liquid ingredients at once to prevent the 'too much sauce/liquid' situation. This was an estimate of how much I put in, so you have been warned. This is also based on a two person serve, so adjust accordingly. Happy Cooking!
