A penny for your thoughts? Well, we’re thinking of tender chicken and pasta in a rich and creamy pink sauce. With leek and courgette for goodness band a scattering of grated Parmesan cheese, this is the simple, yet tasty bowl of your (and our) dreams! The recent weather conditions across New Zealand have impacted our regular supply of fresh ingredients and as such, what you receive may be slightly different to what’s pictured. Don’t worry, your recipe will be just as delicious!

• Boil the kettle.• Pour boiling water into a large saucepan with a pinch of salt.• Add penne to the boiling water and cook, over high heat, until “al dente”,12 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.

• Meanwhile, slice courgette into thin half-moons. • In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over high heat. When oil is hot, cook diced chicken, sliced leek and courgette, 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!

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

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