Provided by Nicky Corbishley

Categories     Dinner

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 18

400 g dried pasta shapes ((I used rigatoni))
1 tbsp vegetable oil
3 large chicken breasts (cut into bitesize chunks)
1 large onion (peeled and chopped)
1 red bell pepper (de-seeded and chopped)
1 yellow bell pepper (de-seeded and chopped)
pinch of salt and pepper
2 cloves garlic (peeled and minced)
1 tbsp tomato puree
½ tsp dried oregano
½ tsp dried thyme
800 g tinned chopped tomatoes
120 ml double (heavy) cream
100 g fresh baby spinach
6 rashers cooked bacon (chopped)
100 g strong cheddar cheese (grated)
100 g mozzarella (grated)
Small bunch parsley (roughly torn)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 190c/375f. Boil a large pan of water and cook the pasta for 1 minute less than recommended on the pack. Drain.
  • Whilst the pasta is cooking, heat the oil on a medium heat, in a large frying pan. Add the chicken, and cook until just sealed - about 5 minutes.
  • Add the onion and cook for a further 3-4 minutes until the onion is softened.
  • Add the chopped peppers, salt, pepper, garlic, tomato puree, oregano and thyme. Stir and cook for 2-3 minutes.
  • Stir in the tinned tomatoes and cream, bring to a gentle bubble, then add the pasta, spinach and cooked bacon. Stir everything together, then transfer to a large baking dish.
  • Top with the cheddar and mozzarella, and place in the oven for 20-25 minutes, until the cheese is golden brown.
  • Take out of the oven and top with parsley before serving.

CHICKEN, SPINACH & BACON ALFREDO PASTA BAKE



Chicken, spinach & bacon alfredo pasta bake image

Make the popular Italian-American pasta dish, chicken alfredo. We've used chicken, spinach and crispy bacon crumbs, but mushrooms are good, too

Provided by Cassie Best

Categories     Dinner, Supper

Time 1h45m

Number Of Ingredients 14

6 smoked streaky bacon rashers
1 tbsp olive oil
4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
½ tsp dried oregano
3 garlic cloves, crushed
1 chicken stock cube
1 heaped tbsp plain flour
300ml double cream
500g short pasta (we used rigatoni)
100g parmesan, grated
2 tsp Dijon mustard
100g baby spinach, roughly chopped
large handful of fresh or dried breadcrumbs
3 tomatoes, chopped

Steps:

  • Heat the grill to high. Put the bacon rashers on a baking tray lined with foil and grill for 5 mins on each side until crisp. Leave to cool, then roughly chop.
  • Heat the oil in a large saucepan or high-sided frying pan over a high heat. Season the chicken, then brown on both sides. Sprinkle over the oregano and add the garlic, then stir for another minute. Crumble in the stock cube and add 250ml water.
  • Bring to a simmer, cover and reduce the heat to low-medium. Cook until the chicken is tender, about 15-20 mins, topping up with more water if the pan looks dry. Transfer the chicken to a board using tongs, then shred using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the pan with the sauce.
  • Whisk the flour into the cooking juices in the pan, turn up the heat and keep stirring until you have a smooth paste that clings to the chicken. Add 500ml water and the cream, then simmer, stirring occasionally for 8-10 mins, or until the sauce has thickened.
  • Meanwhile, cook the pasta in a large pan of boiling salted water for about 10 mins until it is just cooked but retains some bite. Drain.
  • Add most of the parmesan, the mustard, spinach and half the chopped bacon to the sauce, then season to taste, if needed. Stir until the spinach has wilted, then stir in the cooked pasta.
  • Tip the mixture into a large baking dish. Mix the breadcrumbs with the remaining parmesan and scatter over the top along with the tomatoes and remaining chopped bacon. The unbaked dish can now be frozen for up to two months (see below).
  • To cook straightaway, heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Bake for 35-40 mins, or until the top is golden and crunchy and the sauce is bubbling.
