GOLDEN Chicken
Boil the kettle. Place a pan, large enough for the pasta, over medium heat with a drizzle of oil. Pat the Chicken dry with paper towel and cut into bite-sized pieces. When hot, fry the chicken until golden and cooked through, 4-5 minutes (shifting as it browns). Season, remove from the pan and set aside.
FLAVOURS OF ITALY
Return the pan to medium heat with a drizzle of oil (if necessary). Fry the Onion until soft, 3-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Add the Garlic, the oregano and the Chicken spice and fry until fragrant, 1-2 minutes (shifting constantly).
PERFECT PASTA
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil for the pasta. Cook the pasta until al dente, 1-2 minutes. Drain, reserving 100ml [200ml]|#7DA0D7 of pasta water. Toss through a drizzle of olive oil and set aside.
ALL TOGETHER NOW
Once the Onion is soft and fragrant, reduce the heat slightly and add the tomato paste and simmer for 1-2 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the Chicken, the crème fraîche, a sweetener (to taste) and the reserved pasta water. Simmer until slightly thickened, 1-2 minutes. Remove from the heat and toss through the pasta, the spinach, and ¾ of the cheese. Loosen with a splash of water if needed. Season.
WHAT'S NOT TO LOVE!
