  • Preparation time: 5 minutes
  • Cooking time: 7 minutes for fresh pasta, 5 minutes to assemble

    • Budget meal planning tip: use leftovers from Roast Chicken with Garlic, Rosemary and Orange Zest Rub, Oven Baked Whole Chicken with BBQ Rub or Rotisserie Chicken Rub Recipe.

    Ingredients:

  • 8oz / 250g fresh pasta
  • 2 - 3 cups cooked shredded roast chicken
