Method

First steam the broccoli; sprinkle some water onto it then place in the microwave for a few minutes.

Heat the olive oil in a saucepan, add the garlic, ginger and chilli and cook for one minute.

Next add the onion and cook for three minutes. Then add the chicken strips and cook for around five minutes. When thoroughly cooked, add the spring onions and steamed broccoli.

Blend the cornflour, natural yogurt and cold water to make a paste. Add the paste and milk to the chicken and vegetables. Stir continuously at a low heat until the sauce has thickened. Then simmer for 5 to 6 minutes.

Meanwhile, cook the pasta in boiling water for approximately 10 minutes.

Pour the chicken, vegetable and sauce mixture into an ovenproof dish. Place the pasta on top and sprinkle over the cheese. Place in the oven until the cheese has melted and turned a golden colour.
