Roast Chicken and Pepper Pasta (Leftover) image

This pasta dish is quick to prepare and healthy too. It's ideal to make from any leftover roast chicken, while the peppers add a Mediterranean flavour. If you want to roast your own peppers, pop 3 into a hot oven until charred. Put in a sealed plastic bag, cool, peel and remove the core and seeds.
