step 1
Add the olive oil (1 tbsp) to a large saucepan and place over a medium heat. Add the M&S Oakham Gold mini chicken breast fillet (1 pack) with ½ tbsp M&S fajita seasoning (1/2 tbsp) and cook for 4-5 minutes until golden all over.
step 2
Add the onion (1) and M&S Remarksable Value red peppers (2) with the remaining M&S fajita seasoning (1 tbsp) and cook for another 4-5 minutes until beginning to soften. Stir in the tomato purée (2 tbsp) and cook for 1 minute. Put the kettle onto boil.
step 3
Stir in the penne pasta (300 g) and chicken stock (1 pot) before pouring over 800-900mls of just boiled water (depending on how saucy you want it). Stir well, bring to a boil then reduce to a low simmer, cover with a lid and cook gently for 15-18 minutes until the pasta is cooked, stirring occasionally.
step 4
Remove the lid and pour in the single cream (100 ml), most of the M&S Remarksable Value British extra mature cheddar (75 g) and half the parsley (2 tbsp). Increase the heat to medium and cook for 1 minute, stirring until everything is well combined. Season to taste then serve with the remaining cheese and parsley sprinkled on top.
