  1. READY? LET’S COOK!

    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.

  2. CHICKEN & VEG

    Roughly slice up the chicken and the artichokes. Place a pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the baby marrow and peas until charred, 3-4 minutes. In the final 1-2 minutes, add a knob of butter (optional) and the NOMU rub. Remove from the pan and season.

  3. ADD THE CREAMINESS

    Once the pasta has finished cooking, mix through the creamy pesto, the charred veg, the chicken, and the artichokes and season.

  4. PASTA PARTY

    Just before serving, toss the green leaves through the zingy pasta salad. Plate up with a generous drizzle of olive oil. Dig in, Chef!
