Ingredients

4 tablespoons of olive oil

1 onion, chopped finely

2 smashed garlic cloves

¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes

400g cans of chopped tomatoes in two

caster sugar, 1 teaspoon

Mascarpone cheese in the amount of six tablespoons

4 chicken breasts without skin, cut into strips

penne, 300g

shredded 70g mature cheddar

grated mozzarella, 50g

½ small handful of finely chopped parsley


Method

STEP 1

The onion should be gently fried for 10 to 12 minutes in a skillet with 2 tbsp of the oil heated over medium heat. For one minute, add the garlic and red pepper flakes. Add the sugar and tomatoes, then season to taste. Stir in the mascarpone after cooking uncovered for 20 minutes or until the mixture has thickened.

STEP 2

In a nonstick frying pan, heat one tablespoon of oil. When the chicken is cooked through, sauté it for 5-7 minutes with seasoning.

STEP 3

Oven temperature set to 220°C/200°F fan/gas 7. Cook the penne as directed on the package. Drain and combine with any leftover oil. Pasta should be poured into a medium-sized oven-safe dish. Pour the sauce on top after incorporating the chicken. Add the parsley, cheddar, and mozzarella to the top. Bake for 20 minutes, or until bubbling and golden brown.
