Creamy chicken livers on shell noodles

Small shell-shaped noodles help catch all that rich, creamy sauce in every curve and hollow, making each mouthful extra full of flavour.

Chicken livers are often overlooked, but they pack loads of flavour and cook quickly, making them ideal for a quick weeknight meal. In this dish, they’re lightly fried, then simmered in a creamy, spicy peri-peri sauce with tomato paste, garlic, and beef stock. The result is a silky, rich sauce with just the right amount of kick. Recipe compliments of FATTI’S & MONI’S.
