  1. PASTA

    Bring a pot of salted water to a boil for the pasta. Cook the pasta until al dente, 12-15 minutes. Drain, reserving the pasta water, and toss through a drizzle of olive oil.

  2. ITALIAN INSPIRATION

    Place a pan (with a lid and large enough for the pasta) over medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the Onion until soft and lightly golden, 4-5 minutes. Add the Italian seasoning and the chilli (to taste). Fry until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. Pour in the tomato passata and 150ml [300ml]|#7DA0D7 of the reserved pasta water. Simmer until slightly thickening, 8-10 minutes. Remove from the heat, add a sweetener (to taste), and seasoning. Mix through the pasta, top with a lid and set aside.

  3. CHEESY Chicken

    Place a clean pan over medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the Chicken until warmed through, 2-3 minutes per side. Cover the chicken with the cheese and place a lid on the pan. Cook until the cheese has melted, 2-3 minutes. Remove from the pan and slice. Alternatively, add the cheese over the chicken and air fry at 200°C until the cheese is melted and the chicken is warmed through, 5-8 minutes (shifting halfway).
