Chicken & Bacon Cheesey Pasta
Serves 4
Cost: £1.80 per person
Cooking:
Bring pasta to boil and continue to cook until soft. Add seasoning to taste
Add a teaspoon of oil in to a seperate cooking pot over a medium heat
Add chopped onion and grated garlic to the oil
Gently cook until slightly golden
Add chopped bacon and gently heat until the bacon is slightly crispy
Add the diced chicken and continue to cook until chicken is golden brown. Add seasoning to taste
Ingredients:
- 400g Chicken Fillet
- 3 Rashers Bacon
- 450g Fusilli Pasta
- One medium Brown Onion
- 4 Garlic Cloves
- 2 Cans of Chunky Chopped Tomatoes (400g per can)
- 400ml Coconut Milk
- 400g Cheddar Cheese
- Garlic Bread Bagette
Once the pasta is cooked, drain and then add to the cooked meat
Add chopped tomatoes and coconut milk
Stir until eveything is evenly mixed throughout
Layer the grated cheese over the top of the pasta and reduce the heat and leave to simmer. The sauce will bubble allowing the cheese to melt and ooze into the pasta mix
While the pasta is simmering, add your garlic bread to the air fryer. I like to air fry at 180C for 12 mins. Half way through cooking, I cut the bagette into slices to allow the butter to melt into each piece
Once the garlic bread is cooked, serve and enjoy!
