This dish might sound and look a little fancy, but it comes together in four fast steps. While the pasta cooks, the rich garlic and juicy cherry tomatoes work their magic in the pan with the seared chicken breast, plus a couple of our staple seasonings. Don't forget to add the butter at the end - it balances out the acidity in the tomatoes beautifully.

Cooking Steps
• Half-fill a large saucepan with water. Add a generous pinch of salt, then bring to the boil over high heat. • Cook orecchiette in the boiling water until ‘al dente’, 8 minutes. • Drain orecchiette, then return to saucepan.
TIP: 'Al dente' pasta is cooked through but still slightly firm in the centre.
• While pasta is cooking, halve cherry tomatoes. • Finely chop garlic. Cut chicken breast into 2cm chunks.
• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. • Cook garlic and cherry tomatoes until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. • Add garlic & herb seasoning, Nan's special seasoning, passata, the water and chicken. Cook, stirring, until sauce is thickened and chicken is browned and cooked through (when no longer pink inside), 5-6 minutes. • Add the butter, baby spinach leaves and cooked orecchiette. Stir until spinach is wilted. Season to taste, then remove from heat.
• Divide prawn and cherry tomato orecchiette between bowls. • Top with crumbled fetta cubes. • Sprinkle with flaked almonds to serve. Enjoy!
