Total Time 35 minutes
Servings 4 servings

Ingredients

  • 500 g pasta
  • 500 g chicken breast, cut into large chunks
  • 2 peppers, one red and one green – cut into small dice
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, grated or crushed
  • 1 tin chopped tomatoes
  • 700-900 ml stock, beef or chicken – the amount depends on the type of pasta
  • 250 g mascarpone
  • 3 tbsp tomato purée
  • 2 1/2 tbsp Cajun seasoning – click here for the recipe
  • Salt and pepper
  • Oil
  • Grated Parmesan to serve (optional)

Instructions

  • Heat a little oil in a large pan, season the chicken with salt and pepper and brown it well all over.
  • Add the onion and garlic and fry with the chicken until the onion is soft and translucent.
  • Add the Cajun seasoning and cook for a couple of minutes, then stir in the tomato purée and cook for a moment longer.
  • Add the pasta, chopped tomatoes and 700 ml of the stock, give everything a good stir and leave to simmer – with the lid on if the pasta is sticking up above the liquid.
    Top up with more stock as you go if the pan is about to run dry. Note that the pasta often needs a little longer than the packet says.
  • Add the mascarpone and peppers about 5 minutes before the pasta is done – stir everything together well and let it simmer on until the pasta is al dente.
    The peppers should still have some bite when the dish is served.
  • Season the pasta to taste with salt and pepper and serve, topped with grated Parmesan if you like.
