Warm Chicken Pasta Salad

Found this recipe on taste.com.au and changed it quite a bit.
Here tis!

Cook 375g pasta (spirals, shells, bow ties etc) according to packet and drain.

Chop up 4 spring onions (scallions) and 1 red capsicum (bell pepper).

Lightly fry onions in a bit of olive oil - add 2 cloves minced garlic, and then the capsicum.

Fry for 5 mins till all are tender. Add 1 punnet of sliced grape tomatoes (I sliced each tomato into 4) and 1/2tsp minced red chilli. Cook another 2 mins or so. Add 300ml thickened cream and let it simmer for 3 mins until slightly thickened. Stir occasionally.

Place cooked pasta in a big bowl and add 1/2 a diced bbq chicken (alternatively pan fry 2 chicken breasts and then slice up thinly) and a few cups of baby english spinach, roughly chopped.

Pour cream and onion mixture over the top of the pasta and mix together.

Serve warm.
Serves 4-6 as a main meal.
