Instructions

Get Prepped

1

Bring a large saucepan of water to the boil with 1/2 tsp salt for the penne. Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press). Halve the baby plum tomatoes. Grate the Cheddar.

Start the Sauce

2

Heat a drizzle of oil in a large frying pan on medium-high heat. When hot, add the diced chicken and cook until browned, 8-10 mins, stirring occasionally. Once browned, add the garlic, Italian herbs, tomato puree and baby plum tomatoes and cook for a further 1 min. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands after handling chicken and its packaging.

Pasta Time

3

Add the penne to the pan of boiling water and cook until tender, 12 mins. Once cooked, drain in a colander and pop back in the pan. Drizzle with oil and stir through to stop it sticking together.

Add the Spinach

4

Add the water (see ingredients for amount) and chicken stock paste to the pan with the chicken. Bring to a boil, turn the heat down to simmer and cook for 3-4 mins. Stir in the spinach a handful at a time until wilted, 2-3 mins.

Finish Up

5

Once the spinach has wilted, stir through the creme fraiche and half the Cheddar. Add the cooked pasta and season to taste with salt and pepper, then stir to combine. IMPORTANT: The chicken is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.

Serve

6

Share the chicken pasta between your bowls and sprinkle over the remaining Cheddar to finish. Enjoy!
