Ingredients
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 long red chilli, de-seeded and finely sliced, plus extra to serve
- 500 g chicken breast, cut into 2 cm cubes
- Salt and black pepper
- 1 brown onion, finely chopped (optional)
- 150 ml thickened cream
- 700 ml tomato passata
- 400 g linguine
- Parmesan cheese, 2 tbsp finely chopped flat-leaf parsley, to serve
Marinating time: 4 hours
Instructions
1. In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic, chilli, chicken breast and a generous pinch of salt and pepper. Use a spoon to gently mix to combine, then marinate in the fridge for 4 hours. When ready to cook, heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat, then add the chicken and onion. Cook, stirring, until the chicken is browned, and the onion is softened.
2. Add the passata to the pan and bring to a light simmer. Cook for 15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through. While the sauce is simmering, bring a large saucepan of water to the boil over high heat and season the water with salt. Cook the linguine according to the package instructions to al dente (tip: this may be approximately 2 minutes before the end of the recommended time).
3. Stir the cream through the chicken and passata and cook for 2 minutes, or until warmed through. To serve, drain the pasta and divide between plates. Spoon over the creamy tomato chicken sauce. Sprinkle with freshly grated parmesan, flat-leaf parsley and extra chilli, if you like!
