This is a creamy and good tasting pasta with a lavender twist. Serve with mozzarella cheese and basil!
Use any type of pasta in place of the rotini, if desired.
I'm in love! I browned the chicken ( topped with a bit of salt, pepper and garlic pwdr) in garlic olive oil. I went with the standard white sauce steps....melted butter and EVOO to deglazed the pan, mixed in flour, then added cream. Tossed in lavender flowers and mozzarella (and like a T leftover ricotta). Simmered for a few minutes and burned my finger tasting it! Thank you for sharing!

Yum. Quite tasty and super easy. Some modifications. Used leftover rotisserie chicken. Used milk with a little extra butter instead of cream. Instead of all mozzarella, used some leftover asiago and parmesan for more salt. Also added some rosemary.
For all of the simplicity this rivals a gourmet meal. I chose to use homemade fusilli pasta and grill my chicken. To give a cleaner look I did not toss the sauce with the pasta or chicken. I will absolutely make this again!!!
Creamy, delicious pasta dish. instead of using actual lavender I used 2 drops lavender essential oil. I really like this because it's a good break from the norm and easy to make!
First, you HAVE to like the taste of lavender to love this recipe, and I do! This would be wonderful for Spring, and I used dried lavender buds but fresh would add a more subtle flavor. Thanks for the recipe!
I veganize sit and replaced chicken with mushrooms, as well as used lavender paste. Very light and good. Have to figure out a use for the extra sauce.
We love this recipe. We are big fans of lavender here!!!. I used fresh lavender and the flavor was great, not to strong but very enjoyable.
