Instructions
1) Roast the Potatoes
Preheat oven to 220°C / 425°F.
Toss halved baby potatoes with olive oil, salt, pepper, and rosemary.
Spread on a baking sheet and roast 20–25 min, turning once, until golden and crisp.
2) Cook the Pasta
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
Cook tagliatelle 8–10 min until al dente. Drain and set aside.
3) Sear the Chicken
Pat chicken dry, season with salt & pepper.
Heat olive oil in a large pan over medium–high heat.
Sear chicken 4–5 min per side until cooked through (internal temp ~74°C / 165°F). Remove and rest.
4) Build the Creamy Sauce
In the same pan, melt butter. Add garlic and cook 1 min until fragrant.
Add mushrooms, oregano, basil and sauté 4–5 min until soft.
Pour in heavy cream, bring to a simmer.
Stir in Parmesan until creamy. Add lemon juice if using.
Return chicken to pan; spoon sauce over. Warm 2–3 min.
5) Plate it Up
Toss tagliatelle with some sauce.
Serve with herb‑roasted potatoes on the side.
Garnish with chopped parsley.
Notes & Tips
Swap potatoes for crispy roasted baby carrots or parsnips.
Add spinach to the sauce for extra greens.
For a lighter sauce, use half cream + half milk (thickened with a touch of flour).
