Cooking Steps

1

• Bring a large saucepan of salted water to the boil. • Thinly slice brown onion. Trim green beans and cut into thirds. Cut chicken breast into 2cm chunks.

Little cooks: Don your goggles and have a go at peeling off the onion's outer layer!

2

• Cook farfalle in the boiling water until 'al dente', 12 minutes. • Drain and return to the saucepan.

TIP: 'Al dente' means the pasta is cooked through but still has a bit of firmness in the middle. Little cooks: Older kids can help add the pasta to the saucepan under adult supervision. Be careful, the water is boiling!

3

• Meanwhile, heat a large frying pan over high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. • When oil is hot, cook chicken, tossing occasionally, until browned and cooked through, 4-6 minutes. Transfer to a plate and set aside.

TIP: Chicken is cooked through when it's no longer pink inside.

4

• Return frying pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook onion and green beans until softened, 3-4 minutes. • Add garlic & herb seasoning, passata, chicken stock pot, a pinch of salt and the brown sugar. Simmer until thickened slightly, 2-3 minutes.

5

• Stir through light cooking cream, chicken and any chicken resting juices. • Add farfalle and baby spinach leaves and stir until spinach is wilted. • Stir through grated Parmesan cheese (reserve some for garnish!) until just melted. Season with salt and pepper.

6

• Divide creamy chicken farfalle between bowls. • Sprinkle with reserved Parmesan to serve. Enjoy!

Little cooks: Add the finishing touch by sprinkling over the reserved Parmesan!
