Chicken & Leek Pasta Bake
Method
- Bring a large pan of salted water to the boil and add the pasta. Cook for 5 mins.
- Add the sliced leeks, stripped chicken and sweetcorn and continue to cook for a further 8 mins or until pasta is tender. Drain well.
- Meanwhile, put the butter, flour and milk in a separate pan, and over a medium heat, whisk constantly until the mixture comes to the boil. Reduce the heat and continue to stir until thickened.
- Add half of the cheese, season with salt & pepper and stir sauce until cheese has melted.
- Put the chicken, leek and pasta into an oven-proof dish, pour over the sauce and sprinkle the remaining cheese on top.
- Crush the crisps in their packet, then empty out onto the top of your bake and grill for 2-3 mins, until the cheese is melted and golden.
- Serve immediately as is, or with a mixed salad, for a tasty mid-week meal the kids will love!
