- Preheat the oven to gas 6, 200°C, fan 180°C. Line a large baking tray with baking paper and add the chicken thighs and peppers. Drizzle with the olive oil, sprinkle over the paprika and season. Roast for 30-35 mins, until the chicken is completely cooked through and the peppers are softened.
- Meanwhile, bring a large pan of salted water to the boil and add the penne. Cook for 8 mins, then drain and return to the empty pan.
- Remove the chicken from the oven and shred using 2 forks. Add to the pasta along with the peppers, tomato & mascarpone sauce, most of the cheese and most of the basil. Heat the mixture for 1-2 mins over a medium heat until warmed through.
- Divide the pasta between 4 bowls. Sprinkle the remaining cheese and basil over before serving.
