This dish might sound and look a little fancy, but it comes together in four fast steps. While the pasta cooks, the rich garlic and juicy cherry tomatoes work their magic in the pan with the plump chicken, plus a couple of our staple seasonings. Don't forget to add the butter at the end - it balances out the acidity in the tomatoes beautifully.

Produced in a facility that processes eggs, milk, fish, peanuts, sesame, shellfish, soy, tree nuts, and wheat.

Cooking Steps

Cook the pasta
1

• Half-fill a large saucepan with water. Add a generous pinch of salt, then bring to 
the boil over high heat.
• Cook fusilli in the boiling water until ‘al dente’, 11 minutes.
• Drain fusilli, then return to saucepan. 


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

Get prepped
2

• While pasta is cooking, halve snacking tomatoes.
• Finely chop garlic. 

 

Custom Recipe: If you've swapped to chicken breast, cut chicken into 2cm chunks.

3

• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat.
• Cook garlic and snacking tomatoes until fragrant, 1-2 minutes.
• Add garlic & herb seasoning, Nan’s special seasoning, passata, the water and chicken. Cook, stirring, until sauce is thickened.

• Cook chicken with the seasonings until browned and cooked through (when no longer pink inside), 5-6 minutes. Continue as above.
