Ingredients

  • 500 g spaghetti
  • 2 tablespoon olive oil
  • 300 g chicken breasts cut into bite size chunks.
  • 1 small onion diced.
  • ½ green pepper diced.
  • ½ red pepper diced.
  • 50 g button mushrooms sliced.
  • 300 ml skimmed milk
  • 15 g corn flour mixed with 2 tbsp. cold water.
  • 125 g low fat grated cheese
  • Freshly grated salt and pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 180C Fan.
  • Cook the spaghetti in boiling salted water, as per packet instructions. Drain put in a large mixing bowl and set aside.
  • Whilst the pasta is cooking gently heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil in a non-stick frying pan, add the chicken and cook stirring until chicken is lightly browned and no longer pink inside, about 8 minutes. Add chicken to large mixing bowl.
  • Heat the remaining olive oil and add the onion, pepper and mushrooms and sauté for 4 -5 minutes until softened then add to the large mixing bowl.
  • Pour the milk and corn flour mixture into a medium sized saucepan. Bring the mixture to the boil, then turn it down to simmer whilst you stir it constantly with a wooden spoon to make a white sauce.
  • Once the sauce has thickened add 25g of the grated cheese and stir it in until combined. Season to taste.
  • Mix the spaghetti, chicken and vegetables together well in the large mixing bowl then pour into a large casserole dish. Add the sauce to this mixture and stir everything well until well coated by the sauce.
  • Sprinkle the rest of the grated cheese over the top and bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes until the cheese has browned slightly and is bubbling.
  • Serve with a simple side salad.
