CHICKEN SAVARIN WITH CREAMY CURRY SAUCE AND LASAGNE VERDI PASTA SHEETS METHOD:
Line a 24cm savarin pan with plastic wrap. Pasta should be placed in a large pan of boiling water, covered, and boiled until just tender; drain.
Line the prepared pan with pasta sheets, overlapping edges,
allowing excess pasta to overhang the side of the pan.
Process chicken, egg whites, and brandy until smooth. Add
cream, and process until just combined; stir in chives and pep persons. Spread the chicken mixture evenly into the pan, fold overhanging pasta over the mixture, and trim the edges.
Cover the pan with plastic wrap, then foil. Ensure that the
baking dish is filled with boiling water halfway up the side.
Bake in a moderate oven for about 1/2 hours or until firm to
touch. Stand savarin in pan for 5 minutes before turning out. Serve with sauce.
Creamy Curry Sauce: Heat butter in a pan, stir in curry powder and flour, and stir over heat until bubbling. Remove from heat, gradually stir in milk, stock cube, and cheese, and stir over heat until mixture boils and thickens. Blend or process sauce until smooth.
Serves 6.

sauce can be made a day ahead.
