To increase the fibre content of a classic Chicken pasta bake, we’ve included 50% Quorn pieces in this recipe which have 7g of fibre per 100g compared to chicken which contains no fibre. We’ve also used wholewheat pasta and added peppers and courgettes to boost nutrients.

Ingredients

Metric US

150 g 150 Steamed Cooked Chicken
150 g 150 Quorn Pieces
300 g 300 Courgette
400 g 400 Wholewheat Dried Pasta
500 g 500 Tomato Sauce Base
100 g 100 Reduced Fat Cheddar
to taste Salt And Pepper

Directions

Pre heat the oven to 180c.
Place the frozen Quorn mince on a baking tray with a touch of oil and bake in the oven at 180c for 10 minutes.
Cut the peppers and courgettes into chunks. In a saucepan, roast the veg until beginning to soften.
Add the tomato sauce and bring to a simmer.
Cook the pasta for 1 minute less than packet instructions and add the peas for the final 4 minutes.
Add the chicken and Quorn pieces to the saucepan for the final few minutes, the Quorn will soak up some of the liquid. Season to taste.
Combine the cooked pasta and sauce together then transfer into a baking dish and top with cheese.
Bake in the oven for 15-25 minutes until bubbling on top.
