Sometimes, in life, we all need a great big bowl of pasta. If that great big bowl of pasta can be creamy and comforting even better and if it can be easy and quick make.... then ring the bell, we have BINGO! This dish ticks all these boxes and more. It will be adored by adults and children and you can forget about the chats as you'll be far too busy enjoying every single bite to want to talk. You'll have to catch up on your day with a cuppa afterward, that's just how it is with this recipe. If the kids aren't mad about chili you don't have use it but maybe use a small teaspoon of smoked paprika instead for just a bit of warmth. If you're lucky enough to have a bit of a garden or even a window sill, do plant some sage (in a pot or it takes over everything), the fresh leaves are great to throw in most dishes and add a gorgeous Italian touch to your meals. This recipe is Free on our plan but is 1 bite if you are adding the Parmesan. If you don't want to use a bite for Parmesan, think of adding so freshly crushed black pepper to your plate. It will lift it right up with its spicy fragrance.

Ingredients

240g tagliatelle

4 chicken fillets - chopped into thin slices

1 onion - chopped finely

6 mushrooms - thinly sliced

175ml chicken stock

1 fresh chilli - chopped finely

2 garlic cloves - minced

1 tbsp dried sage

5 tbsp quark

60g parmesan cheese - optional

Method

Cook 240g dried tagliatelle according to the pack instructions.
Meanwhile, spray some low cal spray oil into a large frying pan and fry 4 chicken fillets, sliced into strips for 5 minutes until a light golden colour (do this in batches if necessary). You will need to do this on medium heat so that the chicken cooks through without drying out (place a lid on the pan if you can).
Add 1 finely chopped onion, 2 minced garlic cloves, mushrooms, sage to the pan and fry off for another few minutes.
Add 175ml (6fl oz) chicken stock to the pan, bring to simmer and cook for 5 minutes and check the chicken is cooked through. Stir in 5 tbsp of quark.
Drain the pasta and add to the chicken sauce, check the seasoning and serve with a little grated Parmesan (optional).
