Marry Me Chicken Pasta Bake
Ingredients
* 300g short pasta (penne, spirals or rigatoni)
* 1 tbsp unsalted butter
* 1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
* 1 onion, finely chopped
* 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
* 2 tbsp plain flour

Method
1. Preheat oven to 180°C fan-forced. Cook pasta in salted boiling water until just al dente. Drain and set aside.
