This chicken paprikash is a real comfort food meal. Strips of chicken in a creamy paprika sauce served with homemade tagliatelle. It's a great spicy pasta dish especially if you love creamy sauces!
Sift the flour and salt into a mixing bowl of a food mixer. Break in the eggs.
Use a low setting to form a smooth dough. I added a drop of water too as some of the flour was not incorporating. If the dough is too soft you may need to add a little more flour.
Alternatively, make the dough by hand. Break the eggs into the flour and knead until you get a smooth dough.
Wrap the dough in cling film and put in the fridge to rest for 30 minutes.
Follow the instructions for your pasta machine. Or, roll the dough as thinly as you can and then slice into strips.
Coat in flour to stop the pasta all sticking together. Ideally hang it up somewhere but you can lay it on baking trays on top of a thick sprinkling of flour.
How to Make the Chicken Paprikash
Put some oil in a frying pan or wok and cook the onion until it softens.
Then add the chicken and stir fry for a few minutes
Add the peppers, garlic and spices.
Add the chicken stock and simmer for 10 minutes.
Add the cream and continue to cook for another 5 minutes.
Mix a little cornflour with cold water and stir it into the sauce so it thickens slightly.
Season and then serve the sauce with the pasta.
Cooking the pasta
Bring a large pan of water to the boil. Add a dash of cooking oil.
Put the pasta in the pan and boil for about 3 minutes. Stir a little after putting the pasta in the water to make sure it is not sticking together.
Drain the pasta and add to the sauce.
