Method

step 1

Heat 2 tbsp of the oil in a large, deep frying pan over a medium heat and cook the garlic and chilli flakes for 1 min. Tip in the chicken, season and cook for 5-6 mins more, stirring until browned all over (the chicken doesn’t need to be cooked through at this stage).
step 2

Add the tomatoes, buffalo sauce and oregano. Bring to a simmer and cook, uncovered, for 15-20 mins until the sauce has thickened a little and the chicken is cooked through. Stir in the mascarpone.
step 3

Meanwhile, cook the penne in a large pan of boiling salted water following pack instructions. Drain, then toss with the remaining 2 tbsp oil. Stir the cooked pasta, most of the spring onions and about a third of the cheeses into the chicken sauce mixture, then tip everything into a medium ovenproof dish. Scatter over the rest of the cheese and remaining spring onions. Will keep covered and chilled for two days. To cook, heat the oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7 and bake for 20 mins, or until golden and bubbling. Serve with extra buffalo sauce on the side, if you like.
