- 200g Dried pasta
- Olive oil
- 2 eggs, hard boiled and quartered
- 80g chopped cooked chicken
- 1 red onion, peeled and thinly sliced
- 1 red pepper, roasted, deseeded and chopped
- A few tomatoes, quartered
- 1 orange, peeled and cut into small segments

- Seasoning
Method
- Cook the pasta in fast boiling water. About 13 minutes for Penne rigate, see pasta cooking times for other types

- Mix in the peppers, orange, separated onion rings and the chicken and mix very well.
- Add the eggs and tomatoes, season, give it one final light mix and serve.
Variations
Use any type of pasta and any cooked meat. Tuna would be good in this.
