Glossary of Terms

Capellini pasta - Long strands of pasta that are very similar to angel hair pasta, only slightly thinner. Available in both strands and nests. It is most suitable for use with light sauces. Capellini is also known as angel hair pasta.

Lagniappe - (lan-YAP) Louisiana French still used in the Gulf states, USA, especially southern Louisiana, to denote a little something extra or an unexpected gift or benefit.

Tasso (TASS-o) - A strip of smoked, highly seasoned pork used to flavor pot food (gumbo, jambalaya, beans, etc.) or thinly sliced and simmered in a sauce for rice or pasta.

Bedrock Press ~ Lagniappe Recipe

Chicken & Tasso Pasta

6 whole boneless, skinless chicken breasts
3 T. butter or margarine
1 lb. diced tasso (see Recipe Note below)
2 tsp. chopped garlic
3 c. heavy cream
1 bunch green onions, coarsely chopped
Salt and coarsely ground black pepper, to taste
1 lb. capellini or angel hair pasta

Cut each chicken breast into 4 pieces. Melt butter in a large skillet and saute chicken pieces over medium heat until browned. Add tasso and garlic and cook for an additional 5 minutes. Stir in cream and green onions. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Reduce heat and simmer sauce, uncovered, for 10 minutes (do not allow sauce to boil). In the meantime, prepare pasta according to package directions; drain well and transfer to a large serving platter or pasta bowl. Toss pasta with warm sauce and serve with green salad and garlic bread (see Bonus Recipe below). Yields 6 servings.
Recipe Note: Tasso is a highly seasoned smoked ham used in a variety of Cajun dishes. If unavailable, lean smoked ham may be substituted.
