Cooking Instructions:

1. Prepare the Pasta: First things first, let’s get our pasta cooking. I like to use a good quality penne or rigatoni for this recipe, as the ridges and hollows are perfect for catching all that delicious sauce. Fill a large pot with plenty of water, add a generous pinch of salt (this is your only chance to season the pasta itself!), and bring it to a rolling boil over high heat. Once boiling, add your 250g of uncooked pasta. Stir it occasionally to prevent it from sticking together. Cook the pasta according to the package directions until it’s al dente – meaning it’s cooked through but still has a slight bite to it. While the pasta is doing its thing, you can start on the sauce, but don’t forget to keep an eye on it!

2. Sauté the Aromatics and Chicken: In a large skillet or frying pan, heat 2 tablespoons of oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil is shimmering, add your 4 cloves of minced garlic. Sauté the garlic for about 30 seconds until it’s fragrant, being careful not to burn it. Burnt garlic can turn bitter, so a gentle sauté is key here. Now, add your 275g of chicken, cut into bite-sized pieces. Season the chicken generously with 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper, 1/2 teaspoon of red chilli powder, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1 teaspoon of paprika, 1/2 teaspoon of onion powder, and 1/4 teaspoon of oregano. This blend of spices not only seasons the chicken but also forms the flavour base of our sauce. Stir the chicken to coat it evenly with the spices and cook, stirring occasionally, until it’s browned on all sides and cooked through. This should take about 6-8 minutes.

3. Build the Creamy Sauce Base: Once the chicken is cooked, reduce the heat to medium. Add the 2 tablespoons of tomato paste to the skillet. Stir it into the chicken and spices, allowing it to cook for about a minute. This step helps to deepen the flavor of the tomato paste and brings out its sweetness. Next, stir in 1 teaspoon of chilli sauce or sriracha. You can adjust this to your preferred level of heat – a little goes a long way for a gentle warmth, but feel free to add more if you like it spicy!

4. Infuse with Creaminess: Now it’s time to create that luscious sauce. Pour in 130ml of milk (this is roughly 1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon). Stir well, scraping up any delicious bits from the bottom of the pan. Let the milk simmer gently for about 2 minutes, allowing it to reduce slightly and thicken. Then, add 110ml of double cream (about 1/4 cup plus 3 tablespoons). Stir the cream into the sauce until it’s smooth and well combined. Let the sauce simmer gently for another 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it has thickened to your desired consistency. You want it to be creamy and rich, coating the back of a spoon. Taste the sauce at this point and adjust the salt and pepper if needed. Remember, the pasta will also absorb some of the sauce, so make sure it’s well-seasoned.

5. Combine and Serve: By now, your pasta should be perfectly cooked. Drain the pasta, reserving about a cup of the starchy pasta water – this is liquid gold for adjusting sauce consistency if needed! Add the drained pasta directly into the skillet with the creamy chicken sauce. Toss everything together gently to ensure every piece of pasta is coated in the glorious sauce. If the sauce seems a little too thick for your liking, add a splash of the reserved pasta water and stir until you achieve the perfect, silky texture. Serve immediately, perhaps with a sprinkle of fresh parsley or a grating of Parmesan cheese if you have any on hand. This Aymen Ali’s Speedy Creamy Chicken Pasta is best enjoyed fresh and hot.

Enjoy this comforting and flavorful dish – it’s a true weeknight savior!
