Creamy Garlic Chicken Fusilli
with Silverbeet & Parmesan
Once you realise how quickly you can make a creamy pasta sauce from scratch, you'll never use the jarred stuff again. In this weeknight winner, the herby chicken tenders, tender silverbeet and al dente pasta happily soak up the garlic and herb-laced sauce, which gets an extra boost of flavour from our signature Aussie spice blend. Serve with a sprinkle of sharp Parmesan and you're done!

Cooking Steps
• Bring a large saucepan of salted water to the boil. • Roughly chop silverbeet. Cut chicken tenderloins into 2cm chunks.
• Cook fusilli in the boiling water until ‘al dente’, 11 minutes. • Reserve some pasta water (1/2 cup for 2 people / 1 cup for 4 people), then drain fusilli and return to saucepan.
TIP: 'Al dente' pasta is cooked through but still slightly firm in the centre.
• Meanwhile, heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. When oil is hot, cook chicken, tossing occasionally, until browned and cooked through, 5-6 minutes. • Add garlic & herb seasoning and Aussie spice blend and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. • Add light cooking cream, silverbeet and cooked fusilli to the pan. Cook, stirring, until cream is warmed through and silverbeet is just wilted, 1-2 minutes. • Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove pan from heat.
TIP: Chicken is cooked through when it's no longer pink inside.
TIP: Add some reserved pasta water to the pan if the sauce looks too thick!
• Divide creamy chicken fusilli between bowls. • Sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese to serve. Enjoy!
