Preheat oven to 180C. Bring a pot of water to boil. Season with salt and add the penne pasta. Cook for 8-10 minutes until cooked to your liking. Drain, reserving 1 cup of pasta water.
Pat the chicken breast dry and season with salt and pepper. Heat a frying pan over a medium high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook the chicken until golden brown, about 3 minutes each side. Remove from the pan, slice and set aside.
Tip! When swapping the chef selected protein in this recipe, adjust the cooking times and the method to ensure your protein is cooked properly and therefore safe to eat.
To the same pan, add the diced bacon and cook for 2-3 minutes. Sprinkle the plain flour over the bacon and cook for 30 sec. Add milk and stir continuously to form a thick sauce. Add the stock cream, parmesan and 1/2 cup of pasta water. Taste and adjust seasoning. Add the chicken back to the pan and combine with the sauce.
Tip! If the sauce is too thick add more water.
Chop the broccoli into florets. To a large baking dish add the pasta, spinach, broccoli florets and peas. Add the chicken alfredo and sauce and stir to combine. Top with grated cheese. Bake in the oven for 20 minutes until the cheese is golden.
Tip! Cook the veggies seperately if you don't wish to combine them with the chicken alfredo pasta bake.
