Instructions

Prep Time
1

Bring a large saucepan of water to the boil with 1/2 tsp salt for the pasta. Halve, peel and thinly slice the shallot. Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press). Roughly chop the olives. Halve the baby plum tomatoes and roughly chop the parsley (stalks and all). Place the tomatoes and parsley in a bowl and season with a pinch of salt.

Cook the Pasta
2

Add the pasta to your boiling water and bring back to the boil. Cook until tender, 12 mins. Once cooked, drain the pasta in a colander and pop back into the pan. Drizzle with oil and stir through to stop it sticking together.

Toast the Pine Nuts
3

Meanwhile, heat a large frying pan on medium heat and add the pine nuts (no oil). Toast them until golden, 2-3 mins, tossing regularly. When golden, transfer them from your pan to a bowl. TIP: Watch them like a hawk as they can burn easily.

Cook the Sauce
4

Pop the (now empty) frying pan back on medium heat and add a drizzle of oil. Add the shallot to your pan, then stir and cook until softened, 4-5 mins. Add the garlic and tomato puree, stir and cook for 1 min more. Pour in the chopped tomatoes, olives and veg stock paste. Add a pinch of sugar (if you have some). Bring to a simmer and cook until reduced by half, 10 mins.

Finish the Prep
5

While your sauce cooks, finely chop the chives. Drain the mozzarella and pull it apart into small pieces. Stir the balsamic vinegar, honey and olive oil (see ingredients for amount) into the bowl of tomatoes. TIP: If your honey has hardened, pop it in a bowl of hot water for 1 min. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Finish and Serve
6

When your sauce is cooked, season to taste with salt and pepper, then add the drained pasta and toss together. Stir through half the chives and half the mozzarella then share into bowls. Spoon your tomato salsa on top along with the remaining mozzarella, chives and a sprinkle of pine nuts. Enjoy!

7

MOD Step 4: If you've chosen to add diced chicken breast to your meal, add it to the pan when you add the shallot and cook for the same amount of time as the shallot. Continue with the recipe as instructed. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands after handling chicken and its packaging. The chicken is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.
