Chicken Pasta Bake

A very simple dish that can be made ahead of time and popped into the refrigerator until you want to bake it. Equally, I find it a quick fix dinner if I'm in a rush. All I have to do is pick up a chicken on the way home!! Don't leave the curry powder out; it doesn't add heat, just an interesting twist to it.
