Ingredients:

Meat Sauce

• 140 grams or about ¼ pound of chicken breast
• ½ cup or ½ large onion, finely chopped
• 1 tbsp of garlic, minced
• 2 pinches of salt
• ½ tsp of black pepper
• 1½ cup or ½ large tomato, finely chopped
• 7 tbsp of spaghetti sauce
• 1 tsp of crushed red pepper

Pasta

• 500ml or 2 cups of water
• 1 tsp of salt
• ¾ cup of penne pasta

Cream Sauce

• 2 tbsp of butter
• 2 tbsp of plain flour
• 240ml or 1 cup of milk

Topping

• ½ cup of shredded mozzarella cheese

Directions:

Step 1

Chop the tomatoes and onions into small pieces, then cut the chicken into small chunks, and set them aside. Place a skillet pan on a stove over medium-high heat, then add 2 tablespoons of oil, and allow it to heat up before adding the chicken. Season them with salt and pepper, then give them a good toss, and fry until the chicken is cooked through. Add the tomatoes, spaghetti sauce, and crushed red pepper, then give them a good mix, and once boiling, turn off the heat.

Step 2

Boil some water, add the salt, then add the pasta, and cook them according to the package instructions or al dente. Place a skillet pan on a stove over medium-high heat, then melt the butter, and add the flour. Give them a good stir, then fry them for about 1 minute, add the milk, and stir them well together to combine. Once the sauce has thickened, then check the pasta, drain off all the water, and add them to the meat sauce.

Step 3

Pour in the prepared cream sauce, then toss them all together until combined, and cook them over low heat for about 1 minute. Turn off the heat, then transfer everything to a heat-proof bowl or casserole dish, and top it with lots of cheese until completely covered. Place it in the preheated oven, then allow it to bake at 230°C or 446°F for about 10 to 15 minutes or until the cheese is nice and golden. Serve and enjoy!
