Step 1

Put a skillet on a hob with high heat and drizzle some olive oil. Sauté the onion until tender. Add in the chopped garlic cloves and chicken pieces. Cook the chicken until white (around 3 minutes)

Step 2

Add in the diced bell peppers, quickly mix them together with the chicken. And add the tomato puree, cumin, paprika, all-purpose seasoning, oregano, parsley, salt and pepper. Mix well and cook until the peppers are tender

Step 3

Boil the pasta in boiling water with 2 tbsp salt for around 10 minutes

Step 4

In a saucepan, melt the butter on medium heat, and once melted, add in the flour. Cook for 1-2 minutes - a dough-like paste will form

Step 5

Gradually pour in the milk whilst stirring consistently. Keep stirring until you have a smooth thick sauce

Step 6

Add in the salt, pepper and nutmeg

Step 7

Drain the pasta. Do not rinse with water as the starches will help the suce adhere with the pasta. Add in the cooked chicken pepper mixture and mix well. Transfer half of this chicken pasta mix to a large baking dish

Step 9
