Chicken Pasta in a Pot

Serves: 6

Using one pot to cook not only makes cooking easy but clean up even easier. This one is saucy, cheesy and delicious and everyone will love it.

1 ½ cup chicken breast

2 tbsp olive oil

½ cup finely chopped onion

½ cup finely chopped red pepper

2 tbsp garlic salt

6 cups hot water

450 grams uncooked pasta

1 jar 680ml tomato passata (note, I didn’t use the extra sauce in photo)

1 tbsp dried oregano

3 tbsp Frank’s hot sauce

½ cup grated parmesan cheese

2 cups shredded Tre Formaggi (three Italian cheese)

Grated parmesan cheese to sprinkle

Pat dry chicken and remove any fatty bits. Cut into bite size pieces
In a large skillet heat oil on high
Add chicken, onions, pepper and garlic salt to skillet and cook until chicken browns
Pour in hot water and bring everything to a boil
Add pasta and stir until it is evenly coated with water
Pour in tomato passata, oregano and hot sauce and stir until everything is well combined
Cover and lower heat to simmer so that it bubbles slowly
Continue to cook until pasta is tender, stirring occasionally
Once pasta is cooked stir in parmesan cheese until well mixed
Turn off heat and top pasta with shredded cheese
Cover with lid and let sit for five minutes or until cheese is fully melted
