Chicken And Chorizo Pasta Bake Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente; drain and set aside.
• Heat the oil in a large deep skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken, and cook until firm and lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Stir in the bell pepper and chorizo and cook for 5 minutes until the chorizo is hot and the chicken is no longer pink in the center. Remove from heat.
• Pour the tomato puree, cream, and red pepper flakes into a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer 5 minutes until the sauce has thickened. Add drained pasta and sauce to the skillet containing the chicken and mix well. Spoon the mixture into an oven proof dish. Sprinkle the Cheddar, mozzarella, and Parmesan cheese over the top. Bake 30 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.

Steps:

• Add 1 tbsp of olive into a large frying pan or wok and cook the chicken on a medium heat until sealed. Then add the chorizo, onion and chilli then cook until the onion is soft. Add the full carton of pasatta along with the mixed herbs, paprika, salt, pepper, garlic and dill then stir thoroughly and cook for 15 minutes on a medium heat stirring occasionally.
