Fusilli Pasta

From cupboard to plate in 30 mins, this warming, tasty chicken pasta dish is sure to be a firm favourite this winter. Curated by @modernfoodstories using our gluten free ZENB Fusilli.

INGREDIENTS

  • 2 skinless chicken breasts
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 200g ZENB Fusilli pasta
  • 150g cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 2 small garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/2 tbsp vincotto, sherry wine or white wine (optional but makes the dish!)
  • 50g cooked chorizo, sliced
  • 1/2 red chili thinly sliced, or to taste
  • 80g fresh spinach
  • 2 tbsp parsley or basil, chopped
  • Optional vegan or dairy parmesan

INSTRUCTIONS

1.

Bash the chicken breasts with a rolling pin to flatten slightly. Season the chicken with salt and pepper on both sides and rub with 1/2 tbsp of olive oil.

2.

Heat a griddle pan or frying pan and brush with olive oil to prevent sticking. Once hot, add the chicken and cook for approx. 4 minutes on each side or until cooked through. Set aside.

3.

Meanwhile, cook the pasta as per the packet instructions adding a little olive oil to prevent sticking and optional salt. Drain.

4.

Meanwhile, heat 1 tbsp of olive oil in a non-stick pan. Add the tomatoes, garlic, vincotto, sherry wine or white wine, chorizo and chili and toss over a low heat for 2 minutes until the chorizo releases its oil and goes slight crisp. 

5.

Add the pasta to the pan and spinach and warm through until the spinach wilts, about 1 minute.  

Tasty Tips
