Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 1 Tbsp sunflower oil
- 1 large onion peeled and chopped
- 2 chicken breasts (about 14 oz, total) cut into chunks
- Pinch salt and pepper
- 2 cloves garlic peeled and minced
- 1 Tbsp tomato purée (paste)
- 1 red bell pepper deseeded and chopped
- 10½ oz dried pasta shapes such as spirali or corkscrew
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- ½ Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 2 (14oz) cans chopped tomatoes
- 1¼ cups low-sodium chicken stock
- ½ cup milk
- 20 sugar snap peas, or snow peas roughly chopped
- 1 cup grated Cheddar cheese
- 1 Tbsp flat-leaf parsley chopped
Instructions
- Heat oil in a large frying pan (skillet) over medium-high heat and sautée onion for 3 minutes, until it starts to soften.
- Add chicken, season with salt and pepper, and cook fora further 3 minutes (the chicken won't be cooked in the middle at this point). Add garlic, tomato purée, and bell pepper. Stir and then add dry pasta.
- Now add oregano, Worcestershire sauce, canned tomato, stock, and milk. Stir, bring to boil, and then turn down to a gentle simmer. Cover with a lid or some foil, and simmer for 12 to 15 minutes (checking and stirring occasionally), until pasta is cooked.
- Stir in sugar snap peas. (It's nice to add them at the end, so they're hot but retain their crunch.)
- Sprinkle pasta with cheese and put it under the broiler for a couple of minutest until cheese has melted.
- Scatter with fresh parsley, and serve.
