Main course: Chicken pasta
This is a great dish for all the family and variations can be made with the vegetables.
Try adding any of the following: spinach, peas, broccoli (or 'baby trees' in our house)
chopped beans or sweet corn.
Ingredients
1 clove garlic
1 small onion diced
2 tbs. olive oil
50g sliced mushrooms
3 chicken breasts, roughly chopped
1 tbs. plain flour
200ml milk
1 tbs. chopped parsley
50g Swiss Emmental cheese, grated
250g penne pasta
(Serves 3/4)
Sauté the garlic and onion in the olive oil for 5 minutes over a low heat, do not
allow to brown.
Add the mushrooms and chicken, increase the heat a little and cook for a further 5
minutes, stirring frequently.
Remove from the heat and sprinkle in the flour, (the best way is through a sieve as
this stops the flour forming lumps) mix well and return to the heat, add the milk and
simmer for 20 minutes.
Cook the penne pasta according to the packet instructions.
Drain the pasta well, and add to the cooked chicken sauce along with the parsley, mix
well and lightly season. Serve topped with grated Swiss Emmental.
Pudding: Bread and butter pudding
For a change this can also be made with chocolate custard by just adding a little
cocoa.

25g butter
2 tbs. sultanas
2 eggs
1 tbs. golden sugar
300ml milk
pinch ground cinnamon
(serves 3/4)

Spread the bread with butter and cut into quarters. Arrange in a shallow ovenproof dish
butter side up, sprinkle with the sultanas.
Beat the eggs in a bowl add the golden sugar and milk mix well and pour over the bread,
sprinkle with the cinnamon and leave to soak for 30 minutes.
Place the bread pudding in a roasting pan of hot water and cook in the middle of the
