A regular on Brazilian everyday tables, this pasta comes together by folding shredded leftover chicken into a sauce of tomato, pepper and onion. It's a practical, filling way to use up chicken from the night before.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Boil the pasta

10 min

Boil the penne in plenty of salted water for one minute less than the package instructions, then drain.

2

Make the sauce

8 min

Sauté the onion and red bell pepper in olive oil until soft, add the garlic, then stir in the tomato sauce and bring to a boil.

3

Add the chicken

4 min

Add the shredded poached chicken to the sauce and warm through for 4 minutes, seasoning with salt and pepper.

4

Toss and serve

3 min

Toss the drained penne with the sauce and serve hot.

Reminder

Set aside half a cup of the pasta water before draining — if the sauce turns out too thick, you can loosen it with this water. Allergens: contains wheat (gluten).

Editor's Note Editörün Notu

You can make the same sauce with leftover meatballs or grilled meat instead of chicken — the cooking time stays the same.

Tarifte domates sosu 400 gram olarak yazıyor ama elimdeki kutu 500 gramlıktı, hepsini kullandım ve sos biraz sulu kaldı; 5 dakika kadar daha kaynatınca kıvamı toparladı. Tavuk didiklemek düşündüğümden uzun sürdü, önceden hazırlamak lazım.
