Method

Heat half the oil in a large frying pan and gently fry the garlic, onion and chicken for 10 mins, stirring occasionally, until golden. Remove from the pan using a slotted spoon and keep warm.
In the same frying pan, heat the remaining oil and cook the peppers and aubergine for 10 mins, stirring occasionally, under lightly browned.
Return the chicken mixture to the pan and add plenty of seasoning and the honey. Continue to cook for a further 7-8 mins, stirring, until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender. Cover and keep warm.
Just before the chicken mixture is completely cooked, bring a large saucepan of lightly salted water to the boil and cook the pasta for 2-3 mins until just tender. Drain well for 5 mins, then return to the saucepan.
Just before serving, toss the chicken and vegetables into the pasta. Mix well and then pile into warm serving bowls. Serve immediately.
