  • 200 g pasta penne or fusilli

Method
 

  1. Fill a large pot with water, add a pinch of salt, and bring it to a boil. Add your pasta and cook until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Drain the water and set the pasta aside.

  4. Add the cooked pasta, grilled sausages, and chicken back into the skillet. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the top and stir gently until melted. If desired, add a splash of milk or cream for extra creaminess.
