Cooking Steps

Cook the pasta
1

• Boil the kettle. Half-fill a large saucepan with boiling water and add a generous pinch of salt. Cook penne in boiling water until “al dente”, 12 minutes.
• Reserve some pasta water (see ingredients). Drain penne.  


TIP: “Al dente” pasta is cooked through but still slightly firm in the centre.

Cook the chicken
2

• Meanwhile, cut chicken breast into 2cm chunks. In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat.
• When oil is hot, cook chicken, tossing occasionally, until browned and cooked through, 5-6 minutes.
• Transfer to a plate.

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

Make the sauce
3

• While salmon is cooking, roughly chop semi-dried tomatoes. Slice brown onion (see ingredients) into thin wedges.
• Return frying pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook onion until slightly tender, 3-4 minutes. Add tomatoes and tomato & herb seasoning and cook until fragrant, 1 minute.
• Stir in light cooking cream and the reserved pasta water, then simmer until slightly reduced 1-2 minutes.
• Add baby spinach leaves, cooked penne and return salmon to pan, tossing to combine, 1 minute. Season generously.
