Handmade Noodles With Chicken and Vegetables Cooked in White Wine Sauce

I had been craving pasta for weeks and I had a lot of time on my hands. I decided to make an attempt at homemade pasta. Although tedious, the end result was very rewarding and I would definitely make it again. I pretty much just used some chicken and assortment of vegetables I had around the house so the actual cooking was pretty simple. If you choose to do so, this recipe can be followed with store bought pasta. However, I'll include the recipe for the homemade version.

Ingredients:

• 2 cups of unbleached flour
• 2 eggs
• olive oil
• salt
• 4 cloves of garlic
• pepper
• 4 cipollini onions
• 2 chicken quarters of 2 large chicken breasts
• 1 artichoke
• 1 cup of mushrooms
• 3-4 cups of fresh spinach
• lots of basil
• 1 cup of frozen peas
• 1 cup of white wine of choice

Instructions for the Noodles:

1. In a large bowl, place the 2 cups of flour in a dome shape
2. Make an indentation in the middle 
3. Lightly whisk two eggs and pour into the indentation allowing some to spill to the sides
4. Add about a tablespoon of olive oil and begin mixing dough with hands.
5. Dough is mixed well enough to pick up, move it to a lightly floured surface.
6. Knead dough on the surface for about ten minutes or until perfect consistency is achieved.
7. Once finished, wrap dough in plastic wrap and allow it to sit for 50-60 minutes.
8. After the time has elapsed, roll out the dough on a cutting board. 
9. Roll until desired thickness is achieved
10. Using a sharp knife, begin slicing vertically in order to retrieve noodles. Place them aside until all dough has been sliced.
11. Allow them to dry for 5-10 minutes. You may boil them like normal pasta afterwards 

Instructions For the Prepared Meal:

1. While you are boiling noodles, you may start heating a large skillet with some olive oil.
2. Once hot, add in minced onions and garlic and allow them to slightly brown.
3. Add pieces of the chicken (seasoned with salt and pepper)
4. After 3 minutes or so, add the peas, mushrooms, artichokes and basil. Add some more salt.
5. Allow items to cook thoroughly.
6. Add in half of the wine and allow the mixture to simmer.
7. Once pasta is done, drain and throw it into the chicken and vegetable mixture on the skillet. 
8. Add the remainder of the wine, and a little more olive oil, and more basil.
9. Begin adding spinach gradually and mix it in. The heat of the pasta will cook it.
10. Once spinach is cooked, the pasta is ready to serve. 
11. Top off with some grated parmesan cheese, and fresh tomatoes and basil.
