Ingredients

  • Pasta for around 4-6 people
  • 4-6 Chicken thighs deskinned or 3-4 fillets of salmon - deskinned
  • 1 big onion
  • 4 cloves garlic or 2 large frozen cubes
  • Bisto white sauce granules
  • 1.5 tsp salt
  • 1.5 tsp pepper
  • Cheddar Cheese or Parmesan optional

Method

  1. Put the pasta to boil – but pay close attention to it – boil until it is al dente – not soft! (about 5 mins)
  2. Finely chop the onion.
  3. Fry the onion, garlic and then add the chicken (or salmon).
  4. Add the 1.5 tsp salt and 1.5 tsp pepper
  5. Make up the white sauce as per instructions on the box
  6. Add the liquid white sauce to the onion/chicken frying pan. Allow to boil and become thicker but not too thick. The consistency of custard is about right.
  7. Transfer pasta to a baking dish
  8. Add the chicken/onion/white sauce mixture to the pasta dish.
  9. Oven back for 20 mins at gas mark 180 C (fan oven), 200 for non-fan.
  10. Sprinkle cheese on top at the end of cooking (optional).
