Recipe Notes –
This is a vegetarian recipe but can easily be made with chicken and minced beef. This will increase protein intake.
Chicken –
Breast and thigh are great options. Personally id go with thigh as it reheats better. As for cooking breast meat, dice it up and sear first for 6 minutes and remove. As for thigh meat, dice and sear first for 10 minutes and remove. Add the chicken back in before adding in the pasta, after the sauce has been reduced for 12 minutes.
Minced (Ground Beef) –
Add the beef in first and sear for 5 minutes then continue the recipe as normal.

I think Iโd add broccoli as well, thank you for sharing xx
Whenever Iโm making a pasta dish, I always prefer cream cheese to heavy cream. I feel like heavy cream tastes too milky if that makes sense, whereas cream cheese doesnโt taste of that really milky flavour
I made this the other day and it was delicious. Had enough for leftovers!!!๐๐ฝโค๏ธ
I Luv all those spices. Definitely going to try this
I know Jack has mentioned versions with meat in in the description but I thought I'd let yous know what I did which turned out beautifully.
Get some skin on boneless chicken Thighs (1kg) and season the skin and underneath however you want, I used Paprika, Cayenne, Cumin, salt and pepper. Then fry skin side down in a big pan to get a nice crispy skin, turn over to sear the underneath then place in a 200c oven for 15-20 mins for perfectly cooked chicken. Set that to the side then commence the recipe in the pan with all the lovely chicken juices already in the pan. Just add the cooked chicken at the end and I also added some resting juices as well to top it all off. Cheers for another great recipe Jack ๐
I counted the cracks and whispered ten cracks worth with u!

mate, this is next level. Simple, elegant, cheap. I was worried by the term "Creamy" as I was expecting a load of cream. The amount of cream cheese you use is a minimum. It ticks all the boxes. Thanks for sharing.
This is great for work lunches. Loving the Weber t-shirt ๐
yummy or tasty recipe love from mom's kitchen ๐๐๐๐
Great recipe Jack ! In my homeland of Tunisia ๐น๐ณit is illegal to chop basil like that, I will have mine whole. Thank you my friend ๐น๐ณ๐น๐ณ
I so love, how as a chef you are using ingredients which people just throw in their bins.. Another fab recipe…iam down with fever and this dish would bring all the taste back in my mouth..but don't have energy to cook๐ Thank you Chef Jack… Take care ๐๐๐๐
You make me excited to meal prep with all these fire recipes! Quick easy and delicious! Thanks for helping me save money and eat better
Iโm Sicilian and I really want to know how you got my momโs recipe for tomato sauce!!!! Iโve been making tomato sauce like this for 50 years (except for the sour cream)! Lol! Awesome video!
Oh yeah ๐
Sad that meal prep videos seem to get all the views and thats the way the channel is going as a result.
All ur meals are so good chef ๐
Another fabulous recipe. Iโve just made something very similar for our dinner, but will definitely do the first step and add sour cream next time ๐
Love the videos , but hate the spoilers ! ๐
I'm loving your channel!
Absolutely loving this, thanks Jack! The lower calorie meal prep recipes really help out, would love to see more dinners with 400-600 calories per dish, helps out massively when dieting!
Looks very flavoursome, and thanks for showing the actual amount of salt, I donโt think I put enough in sometimes and whatโs a pinch!
Love your recipies. But you gotta start making some high calorie meals ๐
Its getting warmer here Chef Jack – but not too warm for a dish of pasta !!!
Its Bank Holiday too – Guess what's for tonight? lol Thank You as always…
Thanks for sharing another great dish mate.
