PERFECT PASTA
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil for the pasta. Cook the pasta until al dente, 10-12 minutes. Drain and toss through a drizzle of olive oil.
CORN & SPRING ONION
Place a pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the corn and the spring onion whites until lightly charred, 3-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and set aside.
NOMU-SPICED CHICKEN
Return the pan to medium heat with a drizzle of oil. Pat the chicken dry with paper towel. When hot, fry the chicken on one side until golden, 2-4 minutes. Flip, cover with a lid, and fry until cooked through, 2-4 minutes. During the final 1-2 minutes, baste the chicken with a knob of butter and the NOMU rub. Remove from the pan, reserving the pan juices, and rest for 5 minutes before slicing and seasoning.
HOMEMADE DRESSING
In a blender, blitz together the drained feta, the grated garlic, the mayo, a drizzle of olive oil, and seasoning until smooth. Loosen with water in 5ml increments until drizzling consistency. Mix the charred corn & spring onion, and the drained pasta together. Toss through the creamy dressing and season.
TIME TO ENJOY!
