What Sup: Creamy tomatoe, rosemary and roast chicken pasta

I had a little chicken left over from the roast on Sunday so instead of making chicken and mayo I decided to use this in a pasta sauce instead.
You will need the following ingredients to make the sauce:
1 cup roasted chicken shredded (you could be lazy and use Heinz canned chicken or smoked chicken instead)
3 tbs Olive oil
1 and half cups baby tomatoes cut in half
Garlic and chillies to taste
Rosemary finely chopped
1 tin onion and tomato mix
Half a cup reduced fat cream
Secret ingredient is 2 tbs sherry added right at the end with the cream
Pasta- any type of noodle will do, I used spaghetti


Drizzle the olive oil in a pan and fry the following for 2 min: garlic,chilly, rosemary and roasted chicken (shredded). Then place the tomatoes in the pan so that the juicy side touches pan, this will make it easier to make the sauce as you need to squash them flat to release juices.


Once you hace sqashed all the cherry tomatoes add the can of chopped tomatoe and onion and simmer till it reduces and sauce is dark red in colour. Remove from heat and add cream and sherry. Stir in cooked pasta till it is coated in sauce and garnish with a little left over rosemary.
