🕑 35 minutes 🍴 Serves 4

Ingredients

• 1 jar of Think Tomato x Basil (for Cru, currently only available there)

• 100 g grated Grana Padano

• 4 chicken breasts

• 4 slices Parma ham

• 500 g linguine

Instructions

1. Slice the chicken breasts open horizontally.

2. Season with salt and pepper.

3. Place a slice of Parma ham and some grated Grana Padano on one half of each chicken breast.

4. Fold the chicken breasts closed and secure with a toothpick.

5. Heat some olive oil over medium heat in a pan.

7. Lower the heat, cover the pan, and let the chicken cook through gently.

10. After 5 minutes, remove the chicken breasts from the pan, leaving the sauce behind.

11. Add the cooked linguine to the sauce together with 4 tablespoons of the pasta cooking water and mix well.

Enjoy!
