Cooking Steps
• Half-fill a large saucepan with water, add a generous pinch of salt, then bring to the boil over high heat. • Cook fusilli in the boiling water until ‘al dente’, 12 minutes. • Reserve some pasta water (1/2 cup for 2 people / 1 cup for 4 people), then drain and return fusilli to the saucepan. • Meanwhile, grate carrot.
TIP: 'Al dente' pasta is cooked through but still slightly firm in the centre.
• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over high heat. When oil is hot, cook diced chicken and carrot, 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.
• 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.
• Divide creamy tomato and chicken penne between bowls. • Top with remaining Parmesan cheese to serve. Enjoy!
Little cooks: Kids can add the finishing touch by sprinkling the cheese on top!
