Method

  • Chop your onions, garlic, pepper and tomatoes.

  • Begin to fry the onions and garlic for a minute or two, then add the peppers. Fry for a further 3 minutes, then add the tomatoes and tomato puree, and continue to cook on a medium heat.

  • Thinly slice your chicken breasts and coat them with olive oil, salt and pepper. Pop them on a bed of foil under the grill for about 10 minutes, checking on them regularly and turning if needed.

  • Whilst the chicken is cooking, add the milk, water, oxo cube, herbs, salt and pepper to the vegetables, making a creamy sauce. Simmer.

  • FInely chop your baby spinach leaves.

  • When the chicken is almost cooked, add boiling water to your pasta (this is assuming you use fresh pasta as I do- otherwise you should have put your pasta on 5 minutes ago!) and boil until cooked.

  • At the same time, add the spinach to the vegetables (it doesn't take more than 3 minutes).

  • When it's all done, stir some cheese into the sauce then take it off the heat.

  • Serve with pasta on the bottom layer, then vegetables in the middle, with your chicken strips laid on top. Sprinkle with a bit more basil and cheese for extra flavour.
