Instructions
Bring a large saucepan of water to the boil with 0.5 tsp salt for the tortelloni.
Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).
Trim the courgette, then quarter lengthways. Chop widthways into 1cm chunks.
Halve the bell pepper and discard the core and seeds. Slice into thin strips.
Heat a drizzle of oil in a large frying pan on high heat.
When hot, add the diced chicken, courgette and sliced pepper. Cook until charred, 8-10 mins total. Stir only every couple of mins. IMPORTANT: Wash hands and utensils after handling raw meat. Cook so there's no pink in the middle.
Once cooked, season with salt and pepper, then transfer the courgette and pepper to a bowl.
Meanwhile, add the tortelloni to the water and bring back to the boil.
Cook until tender, 4-5 mins. Once cooked, drain in a colander.
Drizzle with oil and gently stir through to stop it sticking together.
Wipe out the (now empty) pan and pop on medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil.
Stir in the garlic and Cajun spice mix (add less if you'd prefer things milder) and cook for 1 min.
Add the tomato puree, creme fraiche, vegetable stock paste, sugar and water for the sauce (see pantry for both amounts) to the pan.
Bring to the boil, then lower the heat and simmer until slightly reduced, 2-3 mins.
Once the sauce has thickened, remove from the heat. Stir in the butter (see pantry for amount) and hard Italian style cheese until melted.
Gently stir the cooked tortelloni, chicken, charred courgette and pepper into the sauce. Season with salt and pepper. Add a splash of water if needed.
Share the creamy Cajun tortelloni between your bowls.
Drizzle with the balsamic glaze to finish.
Enjoy!
Step 2 MOD: Add the chicken to the pan with the veg. Fry, 8-10 mins instead. IMPORTANT: Wash hands and utensils after handling raw meat. Cook so there's no pink in the middle.
