Veg oil spray

1 tsp onion granules
1 tsp BBQ seasoning
Black pepper
350g dried pasta
500g tomato passata
600ml chicken stock (2 stock cubes)
30g grated cheese
2-3 tbsp reduced fat creme fraiche
Instructions
1. Spray a large non-stick pan with veg oil spray. Cook the chicken for about 2-3 minutes on each side over a high heat until brown. Remove from the pan.
2. Add the onion and cook for 5 minutes until softened. Then add the peppers mushrooms and cook for a further 2-3 minutes. Add a tiny splash of boiling water to help speed this up.
