Not a lot can beat a lovely cheesy pasta bake served up with a big side of salad (obviously that makes it healthy…….!!) but add in bacon and this is one of those dinners that the kids will polish off in no time!!! This dish is perfect eaten for cold for lunch the next day too – although you can heat it up in the microwave with a tablespoon of water – to stop it drying out.

Generally, when you think allspice berries and chicken together in the same sentence, you think chicken jerky..but not this time!! Our chicken drumsticks and egg noodle pasta recipe is juicy, mild and seriously moorish. The addition of the allspice berries add a subtle peppery overtone and dept of depth of flavour.
