Creamy Chipotle Pasta

This was reverse-engineered from the ingredients list of a Booths ready meal. Given there are no chipotle chillies in it, I'm not sure quite how they can call it Chipotle Pasta; smoked paprika is used instead.

Ingredients

  • 1 onion, sliced into 8 segments
  • 2 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 1/2 tsp dried chilli flakes
  • 1 tsp demerara sugar
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp cumin
  • 1/4 tsp cinnamon, ground
  • 1/8 tsp black pepper corns, ground
  • 1 tbsp vinegar
  • 2/3 can of chopped tomatoes
  • 150ml single cream
  • 1 tbsp runny honey
  • 300g chicken breast, diced
  • 125g cheddar, mature

Method

  1. Fry the onion over a high heat for 10-15 minutes until well browned.
  2. Turn the heat down low. Add the garlic, chilli, sugar, spices and vinegar and cook gently for 2 minutes, stirring all the time.
  3. Add the tomatoes, cream and honey and mix well. Add the chicken, bring to the boil, cover and cook for 20 minutes.
  4. Just before serving, add the cheese and stir until melted in.

Serve with pasta.
