It's been a long time since I haven't checked in, I guess just feeling lazy. I got this recipe from a Martha Stewart show but have changed most of the ingredients. The original recipe uses prawns and broad beans.

100g spaghetti or angel hair pasta, broken into 4 pieces
450 ml chicken stock

To do this place this on a stovetop or under a hot grill,



until the skin chars

Place in a bowl of cold water and rub the skin off.

 

2. Fry the chicken strips in a little oil in a large frying pan till golden brown, set aside

3. Drain any excess oil, add butter into the same frying pan, add the broken-up pasta and fry it till it starts to turn colour.


4. Add chopped onions, garlic and chillies. fry for 2 minutes.

5. Add hot stock, and let it simmer. Cook till the pasta is done, taste and season with salt and pepper. Stir in bell peppers and chicken. Serve immediately.
