  1. DON’T BE ALFREDO

    Boil the kettle. Place a pot over medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the grated garlic and the NOMU rub until fragrant, 30-60 seconds (shifting constantly). Add 300ml of boiling water, the stock, the cream, and seasoning. Bring to a boil and add the penne. Cook until the sauce has thickened and the penne is al dente, 12-15 minutes (stirring occasionally). Add more boiling water if it reduces too quickly.

  2. PINE NUTS

    Place the pine nuts in a pan over a medium heat. Toast until golden brown, 3-5 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and set aside.

  3. CHICK IT OUT

    Return the pan to a medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the chicken pieces until golden, 2-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and set aside.

  4. ALMOST THERE!

    When the pasta is done, add the browned chicken, ½ the grated cheese, and seasoning. Mix until fully combined. In a salad bowl, toss the rinsed green leaves with a drizzle of oil, ½ the toasted pine nuts, and seasoning.

  5. CHICKEN ALFREDO MAGIC

    Plate up a heaping helping of the creamy chicky alfredo. Top with the remaining grated cheese, the chopped parsley, and the remaining pine nuts. Side with the fresh green salad. Stunningly simple, Chef!
