We start by heating a tablespoon of olive oil in a pan over medium to high heat.

Then we will add a diced white onion into the pan and cook for 5 minutes, occasionally stirring, until the onion begins to soften.

Once those onions have softened, we’ll add the chicken I’ve chopped into bite-size pieces. We’ll add them to the pan.

Add a quarter of a teaspoon of salt and pepper, and then cook the chicken for about 3 to 5 minutes until it’s just sealed.

We add two cloves of minced garlic, a tablespoon of tomato puree, and red pepper that we’ve chopped into chunks and stir it all.

Now add 300 grams or three and a half cups of dried spiral pasta, then 2 400 grams or 14-ounce tins of chopped tomatoes, then 1/2 a teaspoon of oregano, and half a tablespoon of Worcester sauce.

Then we add in 300 mils or one and a quarter cups of chicken stock, then 120 mils or half a cup of full-fat milk.

Stir everything, bring it to a boil and turn it down to a gentle simmer cover with a lid and great foil and simmer for 12 to 15 minutes, checking it occasionally until the kinds of pasta are cooked through.

Now we’re going to add in some sugar snap peas. We need 20 that we’ve chopped in half, so now we gonna add them to the pan.

It’s nice to add them right at the end, so they hit through, but they still retain the crunch.

Stir it, then top with 100 grams or a packed cup of grated mature cheddar cheese that goes under the grill for a couple of minutes until the cheese is melted, lovely, and golden.

Sprinkle with some chopped parsley, and you’re ready to serve.
