Step 1:

To make the gravy, rinse the chicken under running water and pat it dry with a paper towel. Brown the chicken in a hot skillet with a little vegetable oil. Fry over high heat for 5–7 minutes, until the pieces turn a nice golden color.
Step 2:

While the chicken fries, peel the onion and carrot and rinse them clean. Cut the onion into half-rings or a bit smaller. Grate the carrot on the large holes of a box grater.
Step 3:

Add the chopped vegetables to the skillet with the meat and cook everything together for about 5 minutes.
Step 4:

Then add a little tomato paste and a cup of hot water to the skillet. Season with salt and spices to taste. Stir well, cover, and simmer over low heat for about 20 minutes.
Step 5:

While the dish simmers, cook the pasta at the same time, following the package directions.
Step 6:

For the gravy, stir a small amount of flour into a glass of cold water. Peel and mince the garlic.
Step 7:

Add the flour mixture and the minced garlic to the skillet. Stir, bring to a boil, and remove from the heat. Put some pasta on each plate, top with the pieces of chicken, and spoon the gravy over. Serve hot, sprinkled with a little fresh herbs. Enjoy!

This gravy is great with more than just pasta — mashed potatoes, rice, or buckwheat all pair well with it. You can vary or round it out with vegetables like tomatoes, bell peppers, or zucchini, and add any mushrooms to make it heartier. If you'd rather have a creamy flavor instead of tomato, try adding a little cream in place of the tomato paste; a bit of dill goes nicely in that case. You can make this gravy with any kind of meat, but chicken makes it the tastiest and quickest to prepare.
