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 over high heat, until ‘al dente’, 12 minutes.
• Reserve some pasta water (see ingredients). Drain penne, then return to saucepan. Drizzle with a little olive oil to prevent sticking.


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

Get prepped & cook the chicken
2
  • Meanwhile, roughly chop tomato and dill. 
  • In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook tomato, untill slightly blistered, 1-2  minutes. Add chicken tenderloins, tossing, in batches until browned and cooked through, 3-4 minutes.

TIP: The chicken is cooked when it is no longer pink inside.

Make it saucy
3

• Reduce heat to medium-low, then stir in light cooking cream, stock concentrate and the reserved pasta water. Simmer until slightly thickened, 2-3 minutes.
• Remove pan from heat, then stir through cooked penne, dill and baby spinach leaves, until wilted and combined. Season to taste with salt and pepper. 

Finish & serve
4

• Divide rich chicken and dill penne between bowls.
