A penny for your thoughts? Well, we’re thinking of tender chicken and pasta in a rich and creamy pink sauce. With carrot for goodness, and a scattering of grated Parmesan cheese, this is the simple, yet tasty bowl of your (and our) dreams!

We’ve replaced the penne in this recipe with orecchiette due to local ingredient availability. It’ll be just as delicious, just follow your recipe card!

Cooking Steps

Cook the pasta
1

• Boil the kettle. • Pour boiling water into a large saucepan with a pinch of salt. • Add orecchiete to the boiling water and cook, over high heat, until ‘al dente’, 8 minutes. • Reserve some pasta water (1/2 cup for 2 people / 1 cup for 4 people), then drain and return pasta to the saucepan. TIP: ‘Al dente’ pasta is cooked through but still slightly firm in the centre.

Cook the chicken
2

• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over high heat. When oil is hot, cook diced chicken and leek, tossing occasionally, until browned and cooked through, 5-6 minutes. • Add tomato paste (see ingredients) and garlic & herb seasoning and cook until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. TIP: Chicken is cooked through when it's no longer pink inside. Little cooks: Take the lead and help add the tomato paste and seasoning. Be careful, the pan is hot!

Make the creamy sauce
3

• Reduce heat to low, then add cream (see ingredients), chicken-style stock powder, cooked fusilli, baby leaves, a splash of reserved pasta water and half the grated Parmesan cheese. Stir until warmed through, 1-2 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. TIP: If the sauce looks too thick, stir through a splash more reserved pasta water to loosen.

Serve up
4

• Divide creamy tomato and chicken orecchiette between bowls. • Top with remaining Parmesan cheese to serve. Enjoy! Little cooks: Kids can add the finishing touch by sprinkling the cheese on top.
