Chicken Tomato Pasta is my son’s favourite tea and a clean plate is guaranteed. Pasta is always a firm favourite with children and this one will also appeal to their love of all things sweet.

The Honey takes away the tangy taste of the Tinned Tomatoes and the Dried Basil fills your kitchen with a fantastic aroma.

The Fusilli Pasta allows the tomato sauce to catch on it and envelope its spirals.

What Goes Well With This?

Serve with Feta sprinkled over the top. Feta and tomatoes go so well together and it makes a real difference to the dish, although it is equally good without.

Garlic bread is perfect with Chicken Tomato Pasta, but it will increase the calorie content of your meal considerably.

Recipe Tips

Mixing together the Chicken Stock and Yeast Extract will give a more even mixture, before pouring into the pan. Otherwise you may get a concentrated blob of the Yeast Extract in one area and none of its flavour in another area. Try to use a low salt Chicken Stock, as Yeast Extract tends to be quite salty.

Can I Store It In The Fridge?

Cool to room temperature and store in the fridge in an airtight container for a couple of days. Reheat thoroughly in the pan before serving. The flavours will blend together even more after a day or so of getting to know each other better.

Can I Store It In The Freezer?

Cool to room temperature, store in an airtight container and freeze in portion sizes you are most likely to need. If cooking from frozen, empty into a pan and heat through thoroughly, otherwise defrost in the fridge first and heat through thoroughly. Make sure the chicken is piping hot throughout.
