INGREDIENTS:

1 Pack Pasta (Penne/Bowtie)

2 Chicken Breasts

2 Big Shallots

11/2" Piece Ginger

20 Mint Leaves

15 Plum Tomatoes

1 Chicken Buillion Cube

2 Tsp Red Chilli Flakes

2 Tblsp Flour

4 Tblsp Butter

2 Cups Whole Milk

1 Cup Cream

1/2 Cup Parmesan Cheese

Salt to taste

METHOD:

  Cook and drain pasta according to package directions. You can make it Al dente or well done according to your taste.

Clean and cut chicken into small strips about 2 inches long. Chop the shallots, grate the ginger and halve the tomatoes. Wash and remove the mint leaves from the stalks.

In a pan over medium heat add 2 tablespoons of butter and fry the shallots until transparent. Add ginger fry for few seconds and then add the chicken breasts and fry until well cooked along with the chicken stock cube. Now add the mint leaves give a quick stir and then the tomatoes and fry for just 30 secs. You don't want to cook the tomatoes completely because we are looking for the fresh bite in the pasta. Remove to a bowl and keep aside.

To the same pan add the remaining butter. When it melts add the flour and keep frying with a whisk. Pour the milk ti this and combine together but be careful about lumps. Now add the cream, stir until it gets heated through. 

Its time to add the fried chicken and veggies to this sauce. Check for salt,mix in the parmesan cheese and pour it over the pasta. Stir everything together and serve immediately.
