Cooking Steps

1
1

• In a medium bowl, combine chicken mince, fine breadcrumbs, Aussie spice blend, the egg and a pinch of salt and pepper. Set aside to rest for 5 minutes. • Boil the kettle. Roughly chop tomato.

TIP: Letting the mixture rest helps the meatballs hold their shape while cooking.

• Using damp hands, roll heaped spoonfuls of chicken mixture into meatalls (4-5 per person). Transfer to a plate.

• In a large saucepan, heat a generous drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. • Cook meatballs, turning, until browned and cooked through, 3-5 minutes (cook in batches if your pan is getting crowded). Transfer to a plate. • Return pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook tomato, stirring, until softened, 2-3 minutes.

• To pan, add garlic & herb seasoning and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. • Add penne, chicken stock pot and the boiling water (2 cups for 2 people / 4 cups for 4 people) and return meatballs, stirring to combine. Bring to the boil then reduce heat to medium-low. Cover with a lid and simmer, stirring occasionally, until penne is 'al dente', 15-20 minutes.

• Remove lid from pan and stir in light cooking cream, baby spinach leaves, the butter and 1/2 the shaved Parmesan cheese, until leaves are wilted and the sauce has slightly thickened, 1-2 minutes. Season to taste.
