For an easy speedy supper dish, try fusilli or penne with cooked chicken in a creamy low fat soft cheese sauce. Delicious!
Serves 4
Per serving:
470kcals
8g fat (of which 4g is saturated)
Cook the fusilli or penne in a large saucepan of lightly salted boiling water for 6 minutes. Add the broccoli to the pasta and cook for 5 more minutes.
Meanwhile, mist a wok or frying pan with low fat cooking spray. Add the chicken and stir-fry for 5-6 minutes, until cooked.
Add the spring onions to the chicken and cook for a further 3-4 minutes. Drain the cooked pasta, reserving 2 tbsp of the cooking water.
Return the cooking liquid to the saucepan and add the low fat soft cheese, milk and lemon rind. Heat, stirring with a whisk, until hot and smooth.
Tip the pasta, broccoli, chicken, peas and cherry tomatoes into the sauce and stir gently for 1-2 minutes to heat through. Serve, garnished with basil leaves.
Make the recipe with 150g cooked peeled prawns instead of chicken, adding them to the sauce with the peas.
