- 100 milliliters full cream milk
- 20 grams cheddar cheese
- 1 clove garlic, finely chopped
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 800 milliliters water
- 1 tablespoon cooking oil
Instructions:
-
Cook the Spaghetti:
- In a large pot, bring 600 milliliters of water to a boil. Add 1 tablespoon of cooking oil to prevent sticking. Once the water is boiling, add the spaghetti and cook until al dente. Drain the spaghetti and set aside.
-
Prepare the Broccoli:
- In a separate pot, bring 200 milliliters of water to a boil. Add the broccoli florets and a pinch of salt. Cook for about 1 minute, or until the broccoli is tender but still vibrant. Drain the broccoli and set aside.
-
Sauté the Aromatics:
- Heat 2 tablespoons of cooking oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and finely chopped garlic. Sauté until fragrant and the onion is translucent.
-
Cook the Chicken:
- Add the diced chicken to the skillet. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is fully cooked and lightly browned.
-
Make the Creamy Sauce:
- Pour in the full cream milk and add the cheddar cheese to the skillet. Stir until the cheese is melted and the sauce starts to thicken.
-
Combine and Serve:
- Add the cooked broccoli and spaghetti to the skillet. Toss everything together until well coated with the creamy sauce. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
-
Finish and Enjoy:
- Stir in the lemon juice to add a touch of freshness. Serve the creamy spaghetti immediately, garnished with extra cheese if desired.
This delicious, creamy spaghetti dish combines tender chicken, crisp broccoli, and a rich, cheesy sauce, making it a comforting meal perfect for any occasion. Enjoy!
