Whipped ricotta one pot chicken pasta
Recipe video above. Meet your new favourite one-pot recipe! I'm sharing this as a guest-worthy dish based on a simple mid-week recipe. It's quite amazing how just a little dollop of creamy ricotta can transform a regular bowl of pasta into something you'd expect to get at a rustic trattoria! Love how it melts into a flood of creamy goodness on your hot bowl of pasta - thicker than cream, and much lower fat.

📝 Preparation Steps
1
Whipped ricotta - Put the ingredients in a bowl. Whisk vigorously for 10 to ⏱️ 15 seconds until it becomes the texture of softly whipped cream. Add milk to loosen, if needed.
milk (, preferably full fat)4 tbsp
2
Seal chicken - Heat sun dried tomato oil in a large heavy based pot over high heat. Add the chicken. sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook for ⏱️ 3 minutes until the outside is sealed but the inside is still raw. Remove with slotted spoon into a bowl.

4
Deglaze - Add white wine and let it simmer rapidly for ⏱️ 1 - 2 minutes, stirring regularly, until mostly evaporated.
5
Cooking liquid - Add pasta and cooked chicken along with any juices accumulated in the bowl. Stir to coat in all the tasty flavours. Add the stock, canned tomato, salt and pepper.
6
Cook ⏱️ 15 minutes - Give it a good stir, let it come to a boil then lower the heat to medium high so it's simmering rapidly but not boiling like crazy. Cook for ⏱️ 15 minutes (no lid), stirring every ⏱️ 2 minutes or so at first then more regularly towards the end, so the base doesn't catch. Lower the heat a touch towards the end, if needed.
7
How to tell it's done - Most of the liquid should be absorbed and the pasta should be just cooked (al dente), though still a little soupy (that's good, it gets absorbed quickly while serving). Stir in the basil.
8
Serve - Transfer into a serving bowl or divide between bowls. Dollop the whipped ricotta on top then randomly smear (or let everyone do that themselves), it will get all melty. Dig in!
