Alright people, this turned out great! I can imagine the chicken noodles would be very easy to eat on the puree stage too, they are very soft and moist. It turned out great and was real easy. Only thing I recommend is getting a good bottle to squeeze it from, because the one I had kept popping open when I was squeezing it into the pot. Also, it was messy putting it in the bottle, so scoop it into a zip lock, then cut the corner and squeeze into the bottle

Rocco DiSpirito's Pasta al Pomodoro

Aired on: April 1, 2013

Before:

17 grams of fat

840 calories

After:

6 grams of fat

133 calories

Ingredients

[*]3/4 cup cold Water

[*]2 tablespoons egg powder

[*]6 ounces cold chicken breast, cut into 1 inch chunks

[*]1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

[*]7 cloves garlic, sliced thin

[*]1 pinch red chili flakes (pepperoncino)

[*]2 cups whole fresh ready to burst ripe tomatoes, cut into large dice

[*]Salt and fresh ground pepper to taste

[*]1 ounce Parmigiano-Reggiano, freshly grated

[*]16 leaves of fresh basil, torn by hand into small pieces

Yields: 4

Preparation

Boil 4 quarts of Water in a large pot. Once the water is boiling add 2 tablespoons of salt. Preheat broiler. Place the water and the egg white powder in the beaker of a blender, and blend on low speed until all the powder has dissolved, then add the chicken breast and blend on high speed until smooth and glossy. Place the contents of the blender into a squeeze bottle and set in the refrigerator.

Pour the olive oil into a large nonstick sauté pan and then lay out the garlic slices in one even layer over the top of the pan. Place the pan over medium to high heat and cook the garlic until it begins to brown, then move the pan to the middle rack of the oven under the broiler to continue to brown the top of the garlic, about 1 minute. Place the pan back on the stove and add red chili flakes and half the basil leaves, cook for 15 seconds and then add the tomatoes. Cook the tomatoes over medium heat until the sauce comes to a simmer and let cook until the sauce has slightly thickened but still loose, about 2 minutes. Add half of the cheese and stir it completely into the sauce and turn off the stove and season lightly with salt and fresh ground black pepper.

Turn the boiling water down to low heat and squeeze the chicken mixture out of the squeeze bottle in a steady stream into the boiling water into strands the same length as spaghetti, about 10 inches until there is no more room on the surface of the water. Let the noodles cook for 30 seconds then remove them with a strainer or spider, set them aside in a bowl and repeat until all of the chicken mixture is used.

Add the noodles to the pan and turn the heat to medium high heat. Toss the Pasta to coat evenly with a heat resistant rubber spatula and cook until the sauce begins to cling to the noodles. Add the remaining basil and check seasoning. Plate the pasta on four separate plates and sprinkle with remaining cheese.< /p>

Tip: Use a store-bought, fat free, no added sugar marinara sauce and you can make this meal in less then 10 minutes.

The noodles were really easy! Ignore the rest of the recipe, just do the noodles. Mix everything in a food processor and squirt the chicken into boiling Water, that's it!

I used a dollar store clear 'condiment' bottle. Anything with a pointy top. If you use the dollar store one, you've got to hold the cap on tight or it'll pop up. Since then I've gotten a better quality one at Walmart, same aisle as the utensils. Cost 4 bucks there

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
