Cook Pasta
1
  • Boil a full kettle. Pour it into a saucepan with ½ tsp salt on high heat.
  • Boil the spaghetti, 8 mins. 
  • When the pasta has boiled for 5 mins, add the cavolo nero.
  • Once cooked, drain and pop back in the pan. Drizzle with oil and stir through.
Fry Time
2
  • Meanwhile, heat a drizzle of oil in a frying pan on medium-high heat.
  • Fry the chicken and bacon, 5-6 mins. TIP: Notice a stronger smell from your chicken? Don’t worry, this is normal due to packaging we use to keep it fresh. IMPORTANT: Wash hands and utensils after handling raw meat. Cook so there's no pink in the middle of chicken. Cook bacon thoroughly.
Sauce Up
3
  • Next, drain any excess fat from the pan. Pop back on medium-high heat (no need to clean).
  • Stir in the veg stock paste, creme fraiche and water (see pantry). Simmer, 3-4 mins. 
    IMPORTANT: Cook so there's no pink in the middle of the chicken.
  • Stir the cooked pasta and cavolo nero into the sauce. Mix to combine.
  • Remove from the heat.
Dinner's Ready!
4
  • Stir the peas, pesto and two thirds of the hard Italian style cheese into the pasta. Toss to coat.
  • Share between your bowls.
  • Sprinkle over the remaining cheese to finish.
