Ingredients
  

  • 250 g rotini pasta
  • 2 chicken breasts, diced
  • 2 halal sausages, sliced into rounds
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

Equipment

  • Large skillet or frying pan
  • Pot for boiling pasta
  • Wooden spoon or spatula
  • Grater if using block cheese
  • None

Method
 

  1. Boil a pot of salted water and cook the rotini until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced chicken and sausage slices, cooking until golden brown for about 6-8 minutes.
  3. Toss in the minced garlic, paprika, and black pepper. Cook for another minute to release the spices' fragrance.
  4. Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Gradually stir in the shredded cheddar until melted into a velvety sauce.
  5. Add the cooked rotini to the skillet and toss until the pasta is evenly coated with the sauce. Heat through for a couple of minutes before serving.
