Instructions

Ready Spaghetti

1

Boil a full kettle. Pour it into a saucepan with 1/2 tsp salt on high heat.
Boil the pasta, 8 mins.
Once cooked, drain and return to the pan. Drizzle with oil to stop it sticking together.

Get Frying

2

Heat a drizzle of oil in a frying pan on medium-high heat.
Once hot, fry the chicken, 8-10 mins.
Season with salt and pepper. IMPORTANT: Wash hands and utensils after handling raw meat. Cook so there's no pink in the middle.

Sauce Time

3

Next, stir in the water for the sauce (see pantry for amount), chicken stock paste and creme fraiche.
Bring to the boil, then turn the heat down slightly.
Simmer, 1-2 mins. Remove from the heat.

Dinner's Ready!

4

Mix the cooked spaghetti, cheese and pesto into the sauce.
Taste and season with salt and pepper if needed. Add a splash of water if it's too thick.
Serve your pasta in bowls.
Top with the rocket to finish.
Enjoy!
