Cooking steps

Boil the Pasta
1
  • Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7. 
  • Boil a large pot of salted water for the rigatoni.
  • 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.

TIP: If you’re in a hurry you can boil the water in your kettle.

Make the Sauce
2
  • Peel and grate the garlic.
  • Place a pan over medium-high heat.
  • Fry the chicken, 5-6 mins. IMPORTANT: Wash hands and equipment after handling raw chicken and its packaging. Chicken is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.
  • Add the white wine stock, creme fraiche and garlic. Bring to a simmer for 2-3 mins.
  • Add the cream cheese, 1 tbsp butter (per 2P) and cheese, and stir until smooth, 2-3 mins. Add the drained pasta to the cheese sauce. Loosen with a splash of water, if required. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Bake in the Oven
3
  • Transfer the pasta and cheesy sauce to an appropriately-sized oven dish.
  • Sprinkle over the breadcrumbs and drizzle some oil over the top. 
  • Bake on top of the oven until browned and crispy, 12-15 mins.
  • Allow to rest for 5 mins before serving.
Prepare the Crostini
4
  • Meanwhile, cut the baguette at an angle into 2 cm slices. Butter one side of the baguette. 
  • Lay the slices onto a baking tray.
  • Toast until golden brown, 8-10 mins. 

TIP: Keep an eye on them so they don't burn!

Cook the Kale
5
  • Cut the tomato into 2cm chunks. Season to taste with salt and pepper. 
  • Strip the leafy part of the kale from the stem. Discard the stems.
  • Return the pasta pot to a medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil.
  • Fry the kale until wilted, 4-5 mins.
  • Remove from the heat and add the honey mustard dressing. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Divide and Serve
6
  • Divide the chicken pasta bake between bowls.
  • Top the crostinis with the tomato at the table.
  • Serve the honey mustard kale on the side on the side of the adult plates.
  • Drizzle sriracha over the top of the adult dish.

TIP: Have the kids help assemble the tomato crostini.
