How to make creamy peri-peri chicken pasta
Can I make this ahead?
The chicken can be marinated for up to 24 hours before cooking. The sauce can be made and refrigerated for up to a week before reheating and serving.
Can I make this without chicken?
Yes, absolutely. The chicken can be substituted with shrimp/prawns or cauliflower if you want to keep this recipe vegetarian. Season the cauliflower with the same ingredients you would the chicken the roast until cooked through.
