- Bring a large pan of water to the boil and cook the pasta according to packet instructions. Drain, reserving 75ml of the cooking water and return to the pan.
- Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large frying pan over a high heat. Add the peppers and fry for 5 mins, tossing occasionally, until lightly charred and starting to soften. Reduce the heat to medium and add the Piri Piri sauce (3-4 tbsp depending on how hot you like it), soft cheese, the chicken and pasta cooking water to the pan. Stir for 2-3 mins, allowing the soft cheese to melt, until you have a glossy sauce.
- Add the sauce to the drained pasta and vigorously mix until evenly coated. Season to taste with freshly ground black pepper and serve immediately.
- Tip: Simply half the ingredients and follow the same method if serving 2.
