Throw together Pasta

(Pasta pre-oven)

This started off as a desire to make a pasta bake. This ended up as a creamy tomatoey pasta, with chicken, carrots, and peas. This serves 3 (could stretch to 4 not as hungry people I think!).

I started off putting a few chopped onions in a pan with some oil, then added the chicken (3 breasts, chopped up small) until it was browned. I then added a can of chopped tomatoes, and some mixed dried herbs and let that simmer for few minutes. Once the tomatoes have been added, in a different pan, start to boil the pasta and the chopped carrots (would recommended 2). 

Then add approximately 200ml of cream to the chicken mix, and let that cook for a few minutes. At the same time, make some breadcrumbs. My method for this isn't great, so however you do this! Once the pasta is almost ready, add the peas to the pasta and carrot pan. 

After about 20 minutes of the chicken cooking, and 10-12 minutes on the pasta pan, combine the two! Then put into a dish like the one above, and add a spread of breadcrumbs and cheddar cheese on top. Put under the grill in the oven for 5 minutes, or until golden and the cheese has melted. Then take out and serve!
