Ingredients

For 4 servings

20 ml PERi-PERi sauce (choose your flavour)

350 g penne pasta

150 g cooked shredded chicken

700 g ripe tomatoes, skinned and diced

4 garlic cloves, lightly crushed

2 tbsp fresh basil, roughly torn

2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

200 g soft cream cheese

Method

Fry garlic in oil until golden brown. Remove from oil and save for later.

Fry the basil in the garlicky oil for 30 seconds, then remove from oil and put it with the cooked garlic.

Add the tomatoes to the infused oil, with a pinch of salt and cook over a high heat for 5 minutes. Add the PERi-PERi sauce, soft cheese and cooked chicken and simmer for 5 mins.

Cook the pasta until al dente (or, as we normal people say ‘until cooked’), in salted boiling water, drain and then add to the creamy tomato sauce. Mix in the precooked garlic and basil.

Serve and enjoy!
