Method
Cutting:
Cut the Chicken as diced cubes
Cut the broccoli medium pieces
Cut the tomatoes as diced cubes
Slice the onions as small pieces
Grate the Cheezza and Mozarella cheese separately
Cheese Sauce:
Mix the milk and 200gms of fresh cream and keep it ready
Place a sauce pan in low flame heat and place the butter to melt. Once it is melted place the flour into the butter and pour pre-mixed milk and cream mixture little by little into the pan, stir continously. Bring it to little boil and place all the grated Cheezza into it and stir nicely to get a nice creamy texture. Place little bit of pepper to taste and place it aside from the heat.
Pasta preparation
Boil enough water in a vessel and bring it to boil. Place the pasta in it and keep it in the boil for about 5-8mins till the pasta is soft enough to eat, but not completely soft.
Shallow fry the chicken cubes in a wok or kadai till for 7-10 mins till it is cooked and keep it aside.
In a glass break the maggie chicken cubes and 2 tablespoon of cornflour and mix it nicely with 200ml of water. Keep it aside.
Now, in a wok or kadai type vessel, put 4 tablespoon of oil and place the chopped garlic, Place the basil leaves and stir for 30secs, till you place the chopped onions and the tomatoes. Stir for 2mins and add the broccoli and the chicken which was prepared earlier. Add oregano, Italian seasoning, pepper and salt to taste. Stir for 1 min and start adding the maggie and cornflour mix little by little till it nicely absorbes into the chicken.
Now, place the boiled and cooked pasta into the wok and stir nicely stir so that all the stuffs are mixed properly.
Now, take it off the heat and place all the stuff in a baking dish. Pour all the cheese sauce into the pasta, pasta should nicely submerge into the cheese sauce. Top it with chilli flakes (optional)
Now the next step is optional, if you have an oven or you can readily eat it now.
Place the grated mozzarella cheese on top of the pasta to cover it. Pre-heat the oven at 220 degree centigrade and place the dish in it for 15mins.
Here you go.... nice cheessy pasta is hot to melt in your mouth.....
