White Chicken Embutido Pasta

"It's almost midnight and I was craving for pasta but I just wasn't in the mood to order food online. So..."

I just rummaged my fridge and cupboards for anything that I could use to whip an easy pasta. And I found the following:

• 1 long chicken embutido

• 1 cup of cream

• 2 cups of pasta shells

• 1 bar of cheddar cheese, cubed

To put them together, I used the following cooking essentials:

• 1 medium sized onion

• 2 cloves of garlic

• 1 tablespoon of olive oil

• water

• salt, pepper, and chili powder to taste

Right after coming up with the idea of the pasta that I wanted to cook given the ingredients that I had, I set the stove to high heat and put a pot of water to boil with 2 tablespoons of salt. When the water was already boiling, I dropped the pasta shells and cooked them for 3 minutes. When my alarm rang, I transferred the shells in a bowl with five tablespoons of pasta water.

For the sauce, I sautéed the onion and garlic. When I saw that they already achieved my desired color, I dropped the chicken embutido that I sliced into quartered coins. After a minute, I put salt, pepper, and chili powder. After which, I added the cream and let the mixture simmered for 2 minutes.

To easily serve the pasta, I just added the shells into the pot of sauce with the cubed cheddar cheese. And there, I was able to whip a white pasta in less than 30 minutes.
