Steps:

Firsly make the bechamel sauce - melt the butter in a pan and stir in the flour to make a rue. When it's ready it should be a light/medium brown colour. Slowly add the milk whisking constantly. The mixture should thicken. When ready, take off the heat and stir in the parmesan cheese. Put to one side until ready to use.
In a frying pan, heat the olive oil and add the garlic and chilli flakes (and fresh chilli if using). Add the chicken and when browned add the onion. When almost cooked add the tomatoes and tomato puree and simmer until thickened. Add the basil at the last moment and season with black pepper to taste. Cook the pasta according to the packet instructions.
To assemble - mix the chicken and tomato sauce with the pasta and place in an ovenproof dish. Spoon the bechamel sauce over the top and cook at around 180c until the bechamel sauce is golden and crispy.
Serve with small rocket side salad and garlic bread.
