Water for the Sauce
Bring a large saucepan of water to the boil with 1/2 tsp salt for the penne.
Halve the bell pepper and discard the core and seeds. Slice into thin strips.
Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).
When your pan of water is boiling, add the penne and bring back to the boil. Cook until tender, 12 mins.
Once cooked, drain in a colander and pop back in the pan. Drizzle with oil and stir through to stop it sticking together.
Heat a drizzle of oil in a large frying pan on medium-high heat.
Once hot, add the diced chicken and sliced pepper. Season with salt and pepper. Fry until golden brown on the outside and cooked through, 8-10 mins. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw chicken and its packaging. It's cooked when no longer pink in the middle.
Once cooked, stir in the garlic and mixed herbs. Cook for 1 min more.
Stir the passata, red wine stock paste, sugar and water for the sauce (see pantry for both amounts) into the chicken.
Bring to a boil, then turn the heat down and simmer until slightly thickened, 5-6 mins.
Stir through the creme fraiche and hard Italian style cheese.
Stir in the cooked pasta, then season to taste with salt and pepper.
When everything's ready, share the chicken pasta out between your serving bowls.
Enjoy!
