Tagliatelle mixed in a tomato-based sauce.
Ingredients:
  • 500 g tagliatelle
  • large pot boiling water
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 2 tsp oil
  • 1 medium or large chicken breast cubed
  • 150 g bottle gourd cubed (dudhi)
  • 2 medium onions diced (or thinly sliced)
  • 3 serving spoons oil
  • 1 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 1/2 tsp crushed ginger
  • 1 1/2 tsp crushed garlic
  • 2 tsp red chilli powder
  • 1/2 tsp coriander powder
  • 1/4 tsp cumin powder
  • 1/3 tsp turmeric powder
  • 1/2 cup sweetcorn
  • 1/2 bell pepper diced
  • 650 g passata (or blended tin tomatoes)
  • 300 ml single cream
  • 250 g cheddar cheese grated
  • 1/2 cup boiling water
  • handful fresh coriander chopped
Instructions
  1. 1
    Boil a large pot of water. Add 2 tsp full salt, 2 tsp full oil. Once boiling, add tagliatelle.
  2. 2
    Boil for 1 hour for softer tagliatelle, or 30 mins for firmer texture. Stir occasionally.
  3. 3
    Once pasta is cooked, drain and rinse once with lukewarm tap water (keep in a pot full of warm water if leaving out for more than 15 minutes, to stop the pasta from sticking to each other).
  4. 4
    In another large pot, add 3 serving spoons oil. Add onions and soften on low heat (lidded) for 5 mins.
  5. 5
    Add ginger, garlic, red chilli powder, coriander powder, cumin powder, turmeric powder, and salt. Cook until oil comes to the top (oil separation), add chicken, gourd, sweetcorn and bell pepper, and cook for 5 mins (lidded).
  6. 6
    Add passata or blended tomatoes, cook on medium-low for 15 mins.
  7. 7
    Just before eating, add cream and cheddar cheese. Add cooked tagliatelle and heat through. Enjoy with lemon juice squeezed on top..
Note
When reheating this dish the next day, add a little milk to achieve the creamy texture again.
