Preheat oven to 180°C. Grease a 30 x 25cm baking dish with oil.

Cook the pasta using the directions on the pack.

Step 3
Drain the pasta and place back in the saucepan with a little olive oil to stop it sticking together.

Meanwhile, place 1 tbsp of olive oil in a frypan over a low-medium heat.

Step 5
Cook the onion until soft.

Step 6
Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute.

Step 7
Add the stock and broccoli and cook until broccoli is just tender.

Step 8
Add the peas and corn, stir and cook for 30 seconds.

Step 9
Add the vegetable mix, chicken, milk and two thirds of the ricotta to the pasta. Gently fold to mix together.

Step 10
Spoon into the baking dish and top with Parmesan cheese and remaining ricotta cheese.

Step 11
Bake for 25 minutes or until cooked through and golden on top.
