Recipe for chicken and broccoli pasta bake - no melted cheese / no creamy sauce

[sparkysparkysparky]

Dd (8) is tough to feed and hates melted cheese or creamy sauce - no allergy just dislike. I suggested a broccoli, chicken and pasta bake and she liked the idea subject to the above. Any ideas?
The little darling would eat any number of homemade purees as a baby/toddler but that has not translated into a wide range of tastes as she has older.

I pour passata over it - usually the garlic & herb one. It's goes really well with broccoli & chicken.

Boil pasta, add broccoli at the end of the cooking time. Mix in passata and herbs (optional chilli) - oven dish - cubed halloumi, v hot oven 10 mins.

Ha! Totally missed you wanted chicken in it!

Thanks, all

Thanks Polter but, sadly, I've yet to convince her of the delight of pesto. It's another "used to eat but denies ever doing so".

Use some of the pasta cooking water and some chicken stock (bouillon or cubes) plus lemon juice and cornflour to make a very loose sauce to go over the bake? Lemon goes so well with broccoli and chicken.

Oooo I like the sound of the lemon. Ta
