Ingredients
350g Pasta shapes
8 rashers of bacon trimmed of all visible fat and then cut into small pieces
300g chicken breast pieces
300g Mushrooms (quartered)
2 large onions (finely diced)
300ml chicken stock
3 cloves of garlic (crushed)
2 x 150g tube of Primula light
80g Reduced-fat cheddar cheese (grated)
Instructions
Cook pasta in a large saucepan according to packet instructions.
Meanwhile using a large frying pan fry chicken pieces over medium heat for 10 minutes stirring to stop sticking.
Add stock, garlic, bacon and onion and cook for a further 10 minutes.
Add mushrooms and cook for another 4 minutes then add cheese and Primula. At this point you may like to season well as the dish benefits from a good amount of black pepper. Of course, this is down to personal taste though.
Stir to combine and cook for a further 2 minutes then add in the strained cooked pasta, stir through the sauce and serve.
Notes
This makes quite a runny sauce, if you prefer a thicker sauce simply add a tablespoon of cornflour 5 minutes before the end of cooking. This has not been included in the nutritional information mentioned in this recipe, however.
