Canadian Bacon And Chicken Pasta Bake Recipes

EASY CHICKEN AND BACON PASTA BAKE

Steps:

• Cook the pasta in a pan of boiling water as instructed on the packet (usually about 10 minutes). Remove the pasta from the water and drain about 2 minutes BEFORE the end of the cooking time.
• Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a large pan. I like to use a wok as it's good for frying and cooking the sauce in.
• Fry off the bacon for 5 mins, then add the chicken and fry for about 5 minutes until coloured all over.
• Add the onions, garlic and courgettes and cook until just softened and the chicken is cooked through. About 10 minutes.
• While everything else is cooking, put the cornflour into a mug and mix with a small amount of the measured milk until it forms a paste.
• Put the remaining milk into a sauce pan over a medium heat. Pour in the cornflour 'slurry' and whisk for about 5 minutes until it thickens, whisking often.
• Add half of the cheese to the white sauce, plus salt and pepper, and whisk until it's thick.
• Preheat the grill.
• Add the drained, cooked pasta to the bacon, chicken and vegetables, plus the sauce, and sprinkle the cheese on top.
• Put under the grill for about 10 minutes until crispy and bubbling.

CHEESY PASTA BAKE WITH CHICKEN AND BACON RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 190c/375f. Boil a large pan of water and cook the pasta for 1 minute less than recommended on the pack. Drain.
• Whilst the pasta is cooking, heat the oil on a medium heat, in a large frying pan. Add the chicken, and cook until just sealed - about 5 minutes.
• Add the onion and cook for a further 3-4 minutes until the onion is softened.
• Add the chopped peppers, salt, pepper, garlic, tomato puree, oregano and thyme. Stir and cook for 2-3 minutes.
• Stir in the tinned tomatoes and cream, bring to a gentle bubble, then add the pasta, spinach and cooked bacon. Stir everything together, then transfer to a large baking dish.
• Top with the cheddar and mozzarella, and place in the oven for 20-25 minutes, until the cheese is golden brown.
• Take out of the oven and top with parsley before serving.
