Creamy Chicken Pasta

Heat a splash of oil in a large frying pan over high heat. Once hot, add the chicken, season with salt and pepper, stir-fry until browned all over, 5-6 mins. Once coloured, pop the chicken into a bowl and set to one side. IMPORTANT: We'll finish cooking the chicken later! Add a glug of oil to the pan and return to medium heat. Stir in the onion and a good pinch of sugar. Cook, stirring occasionally, until soft and sticky, 5-6 mins.

Once your onions are soft, increase the heat slightly and add the chopped courgette. Cook until starting to colour, 4-5 mins, then add the garlic. Cook for 1 minute. Pour in the water for the sauce (see ingredients for amount), chicken stock powder, creme fraiche and a knob of butter (if you have it!). Return the chicken to the pan and simmer until cooked, 7-8 mins. IMPORTANT: The chicken is cooked when no longer pink in the middle! Add the courgette ribbons for the final 2 mins.

While the sauce is cooking, pour the boiled water from the kettle into a large saucepan over high heat. Bring back to the boil then add the spaghetti and a good pinch of salt. Cook until tender, 8 mins, then drain in a sieve (save a little of the pasta water to loosen up the sauce later on!). Return the pasta to the now empty saucepan off the heat and drizzle over a little olive oil to stop the pasta from sticking together.

Meanwhile, pop the lemon zest, half the parsley and olive oil (see ingredients for amount) into a small bowl. Mix together then season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Once the chicken has cooked and the sauce has thickened, add the drained spaghetti and remaining parsley to the pan. Toss to coat in the sauce. Cook until piping hot. Tip: Add a splash of pasta water if the sauce is too thick!
