• Boil the kettle. Half-fill a medium saucepan with boiling water. • Cook penne in boiling water over high-heat until ‘al dente’, 12 minutes. • Reserve pasta water (1/3 cup for 2 people / 2/3 cup for 4 people). Drain penne, then return to saucepan.

4

• Reduce heat to medium-low and stir in light cooking cream, chicken stock pot and the reserved pasta water and simmer until slightly thickened, 1-2 minutes. • Remove pan from heat and add cooked penne and basil pesto, tossing to coat.

5
