Cooking Instructions
Cooking Instructions
Before you start
- Pull out a large frying pan, a large saucepan, a sieve, a measuring jug & a grater
Prep time
- Thinly slice the peppers. Finely slice the onions. Dice the courgette into 1cm chunks
Fry the chicken
- Heat the large frying pan with 1 tsp oil on medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken, season with salt and pepper, and cook for 7 mins, stirring occasionally
- Add the courgette, pepper and onion and cook for a further 7 mins, until the veg is soft
Cook the pasta
- Meanwhile, bring the large saucepan filled with salted hot water to a boil
- Add one and a half packs of penne to the saucepan and simmer for 9-10 mins, until cooked, then drain
- Pick the basil leaves from the stalks and roughly chop. Finely grate the cheese. Finely chop or grate the garlic
Simmer simmer
- Add the garlic and sundried tomato paste to the chicken pan. Cook for a further minute
- Stir in the cashew cream and 100ml water. Bring to a boil and simmer for 3-4 mins, until the sauce has thickened and the chicken is cooked through
Finish & plate up
- Check your chicken is cooked through by cutting a large piece in half; the flesh should be white and the juices running clear
- Stir through the cooked pasta, half the grated cheese and 2 tbsp water. Season with salt and pepper to taste
- Serve the chicken pasta into bowls. Top with the basil and remaining cheese. Garnish with the chilli flakes (for those who'd like the heat)
