Another quick, easy and tasty one - making a cheese sauce this way guarantees no lumps as well! This serves two people and will cost less than £2.00 each.
Ingredients
200g pasta
100g frozen leaf spinach
1 tbsp oil
2 chicken breasts cut into strips
1 clove of garlic - crushed
215mls of semi-skimmed milk
15g plain flour
15g butter
70g cheddar cheese, grated
How to cook
Cook the pasta for ten minutes, add the spinach for the last four minutes of cooking time and drain well.
Meanwhile, heat the oil in a pan add the chicken strips and garlic and stir fry for four minutes until the chicken is browned and cooked through.
Remove from pan and put to one side.
Add the milk to the pan, sprinkle in the flour, then add the butter and whisk over a medium heat until thick and smooth.
Stir in half the cheese and season with salt and pepper.
Heat the grill to high - mix the chicken into the sauce with the spinach and pasta and spoon into an oven proof dish.
Sprinkle with the rest of the cheese and grill until golden.
Really nice with steamed carrots!
