  1. START THE SAUCE

    Bring a pot of salted water to boil for the pasta. Preheat the oven to 200°C. Place a pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the sliced onion until soft, 4-6 minutes (shifting occasionally). Add the grated garlic and the tomato paste. Fry until fragrant, 1-2 minutes (shifting constantly). Add the tomato passata, the NOMU rub, and 100ml of water. Simmer until thickened, 5-7 minutes. Add a sweetener and seasoning. Set aside.

  2. CHICKEN PREP

    Pat the chicken dry with paper towel and place on a chopping board. Using a sharp knife, slice into one side of the breast, starting at the thicker side and ending at the thinner point (be careful not to cut all the way through). Open the breast so that it resembles a butterfly. Cover with cling wrap and pummel with a rolling pin or bottle to create an even thickness. Season.

  3. CRUNCHY CRUMB

    Whisk 1 egg in a shallow dish with a splash of water. Prepare 2 more shallow dishes; one containing the breadcrumbs and the other containing the flour (lightly seasoned). Lightly coat the breast in the flour, then the egg mixture, and, lastly, the crumb. Set aside.

  4. CHICKEN PARM

    Place a pan over medium-high heat with enough oil to cover the base. When hot, add the crumbed chicken and fry until golden, 1-2 minutes per side. Drain on paper towel and place on a greased baking tray. Top with ⅓ of the pomodoro sauce and ½ the grated cheese. Bake in the hot oven until the cheese is melted, 8-10 minutes.

  5. LOVELY LINGUINE

    When the water is boiling, cook the pasta until al dente, 2-3 minutes. Drain, reserving a cup of pasta water, and toss through the remaining pomodoro sauce. Loosen with a splash of the reserved pasta water, if necessary. Place over medium heat to reheat, if necessary. In a bowl, toss the rinsed green leaves with a drizzle of olive oil and seasoning.

  6. IT’S TIME FOR ITALIAN!

    Plate up the pomodoro pasta. Sprinkle over the remaining cheese. Side with the chicken parm and the dressed leaves. Garnish with the chopped oregano and a crack of black pepper. Dig in!
