Macaroni with Tomato Sauce & Chicken

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 cup boiled chicken, cubed
  • 1 1/2 tablespoon butter or oil
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • 4 – 5 tomatoes, pureed (or 1 can – 15 ounce)
  • ½ teaspoon dried oregano (fresh if available)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon sugar
  • 1/4th cup green peas
  • 1/2 - 1 cup cream
  • 250 - 300 grams macaroni, boiled (with pasta water reserved)
  • Water – to cook the pasta

DIRECTIONS

  • 1. You can make chicken from scratch by boiling or cooking it in salt, pepper & ginger garlic paste.
  • 2. Heat butter / oil in a saucepan. Add onions, garlic and saute for 3-4 minutes till onion turns translucent.
  • 3. Add tomato puree and bring to a boil. Once the mixture comes to a boil turn heat to low and let it simmer for 20 – 25 minutes. The sauce will reduce and thicken in the meanwhile.
  • 4. Add oregano, salt, pepper and sugar and let it cook for 2-3 minutes.
  • 5. Add chicken & peas and let it cook again for 2 minutes.
  • 6. Add cream and stir together.
  • 7. Add the boiled pasta and stir together through the sauce. If the sauce is too thick add a little bit of the reserved pasta water to thin it.
  • 8. Serve hot with fresh herbs or cheese on top.
