Instructions

Cook the Pasta
1

a) Bring a large saucepan of water to the boil with 1/2 tsp salt.
b) When boiling, add the penne to the water and bring back to the boil. Cook until tender, 12 mins.
c) Once cooked, drain in a colander and pop back into the pan. Drizzle of oil and stir through to stop it sticking together.

Prep Time
2

a) Meanwhile, peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).
b) Halve, peel and thinly slice the shallot.

c) Trim the green beans, then cut into thirds.

Fry the Chicken
3

a) Heat a drizzle of oil in a large frying pan on medium-high heat.
b) Once hot, add the chicken and season with salt and pepper. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw chicken and its packaging.
c) Fry until golden brown on the outside, 5-6 mins.
d) Add the shallot and green beans cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 3-4 mins.

Simmer and Spice
4

a) Add the garlic and Cajun spice mix (add less if you'd prefer things milder) to the pan. Cook, stirring frequently, for 1 min.
b) Stir in the passata, chicken stock paste and water for the sauce (see pantry for amount).
c) Bring to the boil, then lower the heat. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until thickened, 5-6 mins.

Bring on the Creamy Sauce
5

a) Once the sauce has thickened slightly, stir through half the grated hard Italian style cheese, followed by the creme fraiche. Bring to the boil, stirring, then remove from the heat. IMPORTANT: The chicken is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.
b) Taste and season with salt and pepper if needed.

Finish and Serve
6

a) Add the cooked pasta to the creamy sauce and mix well to combine. Reheat until piping hot if needed.
b) Share the creamy Cajun chicken pasta between your bowls.
c) Sprinkle over the remaining cheese to finish.
Enjoy!
