Instructions

1

a) Boil a full kettle, then pour the boiled water into a large saucepan with 0.5 tsp salt on high heat.

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

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

2

a) Meanwhile, heat a drizzle of oil in a large frying pan on high heat. Once hot, add the diced chicken and sliced mushrooms to the pan.

b) Season with salt and pepper and fry, stirring occasionally, until browned, 5-6 mins. IMPORTANT: Wash hands and utensils after handling raw meat.

3

a) In the meantime, peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press). 

b) Once the mushrooms have browned, add the garlic to the pan and cook for 1 min more. 

4

a) Stir in the water for the sauce (see pantry for amount), miso paste and wild mushroom paste. TIP: If your wild mushroom paste has hardened, pop it in a bowl of hot water for 1 min.

b) Bring to the boil, then lower the heat and simmer until thickened, 3-4 mins. IMPORTANT: Cook so there's no pink in the middle of the chicken.

5

a) Once the sauce has thickened, stir in the creme fraiche and hard Italian style cheese. Simmer for 1 min.

b) Add the spinach to the pan a handful at a time until wilted and piping hot, 1-2 mins.

c) Stir in the cooked pasta and butter (see pantry for amount).

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

6

a) Share the creamy miso pasta between your bowls.

Enjoy!
