Cooking Instructions and Tips

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).

Pasta Time
2

When your pan of water is boiling, add the penne and bring back to the boil. 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.

Fry the Chicken
3

Heat a drizzle of oil in a large frying pan on medium-high heat.

Once hot, add the diced chicken and mushrooms. Season with salt and pepper. Fry until the mushrooms have softened, 5-6 mins. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw chicken and its packaging. 

Once the mushrooms have softened, stir in the garlic and mixed herbs. Cook for 1 min more.

Sauce Things Up
4

Stir the passata, red wine stock paste, sugar and water for the sauce (see pantry for both amounts) into the chicken.

Bring to a boil, then turn the heat down and simmer until slightly thickened, 3-4 mins. IMPORTANT: The chicken is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.

Once thickened, stir in the spinach a handful at a time until wilted and piping hot, 1-2 mins.

Combine and Stir
5

Once the spinach has wilted, stir through the creme fraiche and hard Italian style cheese.

Stir in the cooked pasta, then season to taste with salt and pepper.

Serve
6

When everything's ready, share the chicken pasta between your serving bowls.

Enjoy!
