Cooking Steps
a) Boil a full kettle. Pour the boiled water into a large saucepan with ½ tsp salt on high heat.
b) Add the rigatoni and bring back to the boil. Cook until tender, 12 mins.
c) Once cooked, drain in a colander and pop back in the pan. Drizzle with oil and stir through to stop it sticking together.
a) Meanwhile, peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press). Halve the bell pepper and discard the core and seeds. Slice into thin strips.
a) Heat a drizzle of oil in a large frying pan on medium-high heat.
b) Once hot, add the diced chicken and sliced pepper and fry until tender, 5-6 mins. TIP: Notice a stronger smell from your chicken? Don’t worry, this is normal due to packaging we use to keep it fresh. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw chicken and its packaging.
c) Stir in the garlic and Cajun spice mix (add less if you'd prefer things milder) and fry until fragrant, 1 min.
a) Once fragrant, stir through the creme fraiche, veg stock paste, sugar and water for the sauce (see pantry for both amounts). Season with salt and pepper.
b) Bring the sauce to a boil, then lower to a simmer until thickened, 3-4 mins. IMPORTANT: The chicken is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.
a) Once the chicken is cooked, stir through the peas, cooked pasta and butter (see pantry for amount) until the butter has melted, 1 min more.
a) Taste and season with salt and pepper if you feel it needs it.
b) Share your Cajun chicken pasta between your bowls.
