Instructions

Time to Prep
1

a) Boil a full kettle. 

b) Halve any thick broccoli stems lengthways, then cut into thirds widthways.

c) Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press). 

 

Cook the Pasta
2

a) Once boiled, pour the water into a large saucepan with 0.5 tsp salt on high heat. 

b) Add the rigatoni to the water and bring back to the boil. Cook until tender, 12 mins.

Start the Sauce
3

a) Meanwhile, heat a drizzle of oil in a large frying pan on medium heat. Add the diced chicken and cook until browned all over, 5-6 mins. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw chicken and its packaging.

b) Add the Cajun spice mix (add less if you'd prefer things milder) and garlic. Stir-fry for 30 secs. 

c) Stir in the passata, red wine stock paste, sun-dried tomato paste, sugar and water for the sauce (see pantry for both amounts).

d) Bring to the boil, then lower the heat and simmer until thickened, 3-4 mins. 

Cook the Broccoli
4

a) When the rigatoni has been cooking for about 8 mins, add the Tenderstem® to the same pan and bring back to the boil.

b) Cook with the pasta for the last 3-4 mins of cooking time.

c) Once cooked, drain the pasta and broccoli in a colander and pop back in the pan. Drizzle with oil and stir through to stop it sticking together.

Add the Veg
5

a) Once the tomato sauce has thickened, add the butter (see pantry for amount) and spinach to the pan, a handful at a time until wilted and piping hot, 1-2 mins.

b) Stir the cooked pasta, broccoli, peas and three quarters of the cheese into the sauce. Heat through until the peas are piping hot, 1 min more.

c) Taste and season with salt and pepper if needed. Add a splash more water if you feel it needs it.

Serve
6

a) Share the Cajun spiced tomato pasta out between your serving bowls.

b) Sprinkle over the remaining cheese to finish. 

Enjoy!
