Drizzle over some olive oil and season with salt, pepper and a little bit of rosemary. Wrap the garlic in foil to cook it faster.

-
While the vegetables are roasting, cook the pasta according to the instructions.
-
Drain the pasta.
-
Transfer the roasted vegetables into a blender, add the miso paste, about 200ml of vegetable stock and mix until smooth.
-
Transfer to a saucepan to heat through, then add the cooked pasta and ready‑to‑eat chicken.
-
Serve it with grated cheese, spring onion and caramelised onion (slice the onion finely and leave it to caramelise using a little bit of oil and sugar).
-
You can drizzle some sweet chilli sauce over and enjoy!
