Cooking Steps

Get Prepped
1
  • Boil a pot of salted water for the pasta.
  • When boiling, add the rigatoni to the water and bring back to the boil. Cook until softened, 10-12 mins.
  • Once cooked, drain in a colander and pop back in the pot, off the heat. Drizzle with oil and stir through to prevent sticking.
  • Meanwhile, halve, peel and thinly slice the onion. Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).
  • Trim the courgette and halve lengthways. Chop widthways into 2cm chunks.
Fry the Chicken
2
  • Place a pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil.
  • Once hot, fry the onion for 1-2 mins.
  • Add the garlic and chicken and season with salt and pepper. Fry until browned, 5-6 mins. IMPORTANT: Wash hands and equipment after handling raw chicken and its packaging.

NOTE: Adding bacon? Chop into 2cm cubes then add to the pan with the onion fry for 3-4 mins before adding the chicken.

3
  • Add the courgette, sun-dried tomato paste and half a sachet of Italian herbs (per 2P). Fry for 6-8 mins. IMPORTANT: Chicken is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.
  • Add the creme fraiche and stock to the pan. Simmer, stirring for 2 mins.
  • Add the rigatoni and toss to coat. Cook for 1 min more. Season with salt and pepper.

TIP: Loosen the sauce with a splash of water if you feel it's too thick.

  • Divide the pasta and veg between deep plates.
  • Garnish with a sprinkling of cheese.
