Chicken Tikka Pasta Bake Recipe ( Tikka Spice Blend)

300g diced chicken breast

100g cheddar cheese (grated)

300g pasta

1tsp Freshly Spiced Tikka Spice Blend

1tsp olive oil

Add the diced chicken to a bowl and drizzle with 1tsp olive oil and the Tikka Spice Blend. Mix and leave for 30 minutes to marinate.

Once marinated cook the chicken in the oven or grill for around 10 minutes, leave to one side.

Whilst the chicken is cooking boil the kettle and cook the pasta for 10 minutes.

In another pan add 1 tbsp olive oil, heat for a minute and then add the onion and garlic and soften for around 8 minutes. Add the chopped tomatoes, tomato puree, sugar and basil and cook for around 10 minutes, stirring regularly.

Once done you can take all three elements (the sauce, cooked chicken and pasta) and combine in a pan. Stir well to ensure everything is coated in the sauce. Transfer everything into a large baking dish, and ensure everything is evenly spread out. Scatter the grated cheese and place in a preheated oven at 200C. Bake for around 20 minutes, keep checking as you may want a little longer for all the cheese to melt.
