Palermo Pasta

Palermo pasta is a school lunch favorite that originated in Lahti. The recipe rightfully won a school food competition at the turn of the millennium. Like many classics, many versions of the recipe have since been made, and here is one easy and quick adaptation. The pasta features chicken, a creamy curry sauce, and fresh tarragon.
