Indulge in a truly decadent pasta night with this velvety penne, where buttery leeks and garlic are sautéed to perfection before being swirled into a rich, creamy sauce. The star of the show is the soft Brie that adds a luxurious depth of flavour and a beautiful creaminess. We’ve replaced the rocket leaves in this recipe with baby spinach leaves due to local ingredient availability. It’ll be just as delicious, just follow your recipe card!

Produced in a facility that processes eggs, milk, fish, peanuts, sesame, shellfish, soy, tree nuts, and wheat.

Cooking Steps

Cook the penne
1
  • Boil the kettle.
  • Half-fill a large saucepan with boiling water and add a generous pinch of salt.
  • Cook penne over high heat, until ‘al dente’, 12 minutes.
  • Reserve pasta water (1/4 cup per person).
  • Drain half the penne, then return to saucepan.
Get prepped
2
  • Meanwhile, finely chop garlic.
  • Cut single cream brie into bite-sized chunks.
  • Cut chicken breast into 2cm chunks.
Make the sauce
3
  • In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat.
  • When oil is hot, cook chicken and leek, tossing occasionally, until browned and cooked through, 5-6 minutes.
  • In the last minute, add garlic & herb seasoning and garlic and cook until fragrant.
  • Reduce heat to medium, add longlife cream (see ingredients), brie and reserved pasta water, stirring until brie has slightly melted, 3-4 minutes.
  • Remove pan from heat, then stir through cooked pasta until combined. Season to taste. 

TIP: Chicken is cooked through when it is no longer pink in the middle.

TIP: Add a splash of water if the sauce looks dry.
