Cook the Pasta

a) Add the garlic and Cajun spice mix (careful, it's hot - add less if you don't like heat) and cook, stirring frequently, for 1 minute. b) Add the water (see ingredients for amount), tomato passata and chicken stock paste. c) Bring to a boil and turn the heat down to simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally until thickened, 10-12 mins.

Finish It Off
5

a) Once the sauce has thickened slightly, add the spinach a handful at a time, stirring in until wilted and piping hot, 1-2 mins. b) Stir through half the hard Italian style cheese. c) Stir through the crème fraiche and bring to a boil. Remove from the heat. d) Taste and season with salt and pepper if needed. e) IMPORTANT: The chicken is cooked when it is no longer pink in the middle.

Time to Serve
