Ingredients

  • 200 g Pasta
  • 1 Small onion diced
  • 2 Chicken breasts cut into bite sized pieces
  • 3 Cloves of garlic chopped
  • 15 g Ginger minced
  • 1 tbsp Tomato paste
  • 2 tbsp Tikka paste
  • 150 ml Chicken stock
  • 150 ml Double cream
  • 10 g Coriander chopped

Instructions

  • Cook the pasta in salted boiling water for two minutes less than the packet states. (You might want to prepare the rest of your ingredients before this step)
  • Heat a little bit of cooking oil in a large pan over a medium to high heat. Cook the onion until it softens, about five minutes.
  • Add in the chicken, and cook stirring occasionally until there are no visible pink bits.
  • Chuck in the garlic and ginger then cook for a further minute.
  • Add in the tomato paste and tikka paste, then cook for a further two minutes to release the flavours.
  • Pour in the chicken stock and double cream, and cook until it thickens a bit.
  • Drain the pasta, keeping back some pasta water in case the sauce needs loosening up a bit.
  • Add the pasta into the sauce, stir well, then cook until it thickens.
  • Sprinkle in the chopped coriander and taste for seasoning.
  • Dish it up and enjoy!
