How to Make It
Start by getting a large pot of water on the boil for your pasta. Cook it according to the packet directions—you want it tender but with a bit of bite.
While that's going, heat oil in another large pot (ideally one that'll fit your pasta later). Add your chicken breast, onion, and garlic, then season generously with your pizza and pasta spice blend and garlic & herb seasoning. Let it cook until the chicken's golden and the onion's softened.
Pour in your pizza sauce and stir through your vegetables. Add a good splash of cream and turn the heat down low. Let it all get to know each other for a few minutes.
When your pasta's ready, drain it and add it straight into the pot with the sauce. Pour in about a mug of that starchy pasta water—it'll help everything come together beautifully. Give it all a good stir.
Finish with a generous handful of parmesan and a sprinkle of Tuscany Salt. That's it. You've got yourself a proper crowd-pleaser.
This is the kind of dish that rotates onto your weekly menu and stays there. It's comforting, it's flavourful, and it's genuinely hard to get wrong.
