    Colombian Style Pasta with ChickenPin

    Today I want to share with you a pasta dish that is popular in Colombia. It is very simple and quick to make and it is delicious. No, it is not an authentic Italian dish, but a Colombian version called Spaghetti con Pollo y Salsa Criolla.

    There are a lot of Colombian pasta dishes that we make with our own touch and ingredients and this dish is one of them. I hope you all enjoy it!

    Buen provecho!

      Authentic or not, this looks wonderful! The salsa criolla is so much more than just plain old tomato sauce. 😎

          For this dish I usually cook chicken breast with bone in water with spices and vegetables, but you can use store bought roasted chicken.

      Had this for dinner last night and as usual, it was amazing. I cooked the chicken/stock as per Erica's instructions found in her Chicken and Rice (Arroz con Pollo) recipe which is also fabulous. I'm thinking of making this again with shrimp! ¡Gracias Erica! =)
