Chicken livers and mushroom noodles tips

The different textures of chicken livers and mushrooms are a perfect topping for some warm crusty bread on the side. You can turn them into spicy chicken livers with a teaspoon of chili flakes or even some fresh chili. You can finish the cooking with half a cup of cream and this might also help if you spiced the livers too much. Also, chicken livers are packed with iron while the mushrooms add fibre and noodles provide you with some pasta goodness.

If you need a tasty dinner party starter or a hearty weeknight meal, some chicken livers and mushroom noodles are the best option.
