Chicken Chunks Pasta with Kesong Puti

February 5, 2021 by Manny Leave a Comment

TweetPinShareYummly

This chicken pasta dish is combined with kesong puti, a local white cheese made from curd fresh milk of cow or carabao. Looks like it is adapted from Mediterranean cuisine because the kesong puti is very similar to feta cheese which is mostly used in Greek or Turkish dishes. Cooking is also straightforward and if you have already cooked spaghetti or any other pasta, then cooking this dish is a breeze. And with regards to marinating the kesong puti, it can be marinated a day ahead or several hours before serving to give it time to absorb the flavor of herbs and tomato paste.

To make the pasta sauce; Heat olive oil in a wide saucepan. Saute garlic until lightly browned. Add chicken chunks, onions, bell peppers and leeks and continue sauteing until onions are limp and transparent. Pour in spaghetti sauce and let simmer gently over low heat for 10 minutes. Season with salt and sugar, if desired. To serve: Pour sauce over cooked paste. Top with kesong puti.
