Clean carrot and zucchini and slice them: a good mandoline is a great help.

Open the chicken breast in your pocket or full, season with pepper and salt and then fill it with chopped herbs already prepared. Close it by applying pressure with your fingers.

In a bowl, prepare the final dressing by mixing together the tomato paste, thyme, harissa and a half ct of oil; it will then be completed with half a cup of the pasta cooking water.

ADVICES AND NOTES:

  • print pdf Recipe, text only: to print or download.
  • If it is feared that less than half a dozen pasta can not sate, replace it with whole wheat pasta: it fills a lot more.
  • Note fine herbs: In general they are good ones that are in the house, in pots on the windowsill or, for those who have it, the garden. In this case I used sage, thyme and burnet, but also rosemary, oregano and parsley would go well. With spices and fine herbs it goes much taste and sympathy!
  • Harissa: if at home there was not, chili or chili are excellent substitutes; or the Balkan aivar.
