CREAMY CHICKEN PASTA

There’s no doubting that Heinz is an expert in tomatoes so it’s probably not surprising the brand has expanded into pasta sauces for those days when you just need convenience. There are seven varieties: Tomato Sauce for Bolognese; Sundried Cherry Tomato & Basil; Tomato & Chilli’; Tomato, Mushroom & Bell Pepper; Tomato & Lentil Ragu; Mediterranean Veggies & Chunky Tomatoes; and Tomato, Grana Padano & Mascarpone. All bar the latter are suitable for vegans and all are gluten-free. They are made with with 100 per cent natural ingredients and contain no added sugar, and are priced from €2.99 at supermarkets nationwide. If you need some recipe inspiration, Lili Forberg has created several, including this one. For more, see @heinzirl on Instagram.
