Ingredients

Method

  1. Cook the penne in salted boiling water for 11 minutes.
  2. Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large frying pan and cook the chicken over a medium-high heat for 6 minutes, until golden. Season and lift out onto a plate.
  3. Add the onion and mushrooms to the same pan and cook for 6 minutes, until the mushrooms have shrunk and browned. Stir in the garlic for 1 minute.
  4. Crumble in the stock cube, pour in 100ml of the pasta water and let it bubble, then add the cream and return the chicken to the pan. Simmer for 3 minutes.
  5. Stir in the spinach until it wilts, then tip in the drained pasta and the parmesan. Loosen with a splash more pasta water if needed and serve.
