ground beef

🥗Healthier: ground turkey

1

Heat 70 cc of oil in a large pot.

2

Add 6 chicken thighs and sear them without salting to retain juices.

Once the chicken is well-seared, add 2 chopped onions and sauté until softened.

Add 2 cloves of garlic (mashed) and 1 red bell pepper (diced) and continue cooking.

5

Season with salt and a pinch of paprika.

6

Deglaze the pot with 100 cc of white wine and let it evaporate a bit.

7

Add 50 g of tomato paste and stir well, allowing it to cook down slightly.

8

Mix in 300 g of tomato puree and cover the pot, letting it simmer to cook the chicken through.

9

If the mixture gets too dry, add chicken broth as needed to maintain moisture.

10

Once the chicken is tender, remove it from the pot and shred it into pieces.

11

Cook the tallarines (noodles) separately according to package instructions until al dente, then drain.

12

Combine the shredded chicken with the sauce and the cooked tallarines, mixing well.
