Ingredients
- 150 g pasta
- 180 g Leftover cooked chicken chopped
- 0.5 tablespoon olive oil
- 100 g light cream cheese
- 60 ml semi skimmed milk
- 100 g sweetcorn
- 45 g spinach
- 20 g parmesan grated
Instructions
- Add 150 g Pasta to a pan of boiling water and cook for 10 minutes.
- Heat 0.5 tablespoon Olive oil over a medium heat and add 180 g Leftover cooked chicken. Cook until starting to brown, about 5 minutes.
- Add 100 g Light cream cheese and 60 ml semi skimmed milk. Cook until the cheese has melted, stirring regularly.
- Add 100 g Sweetcorn, 45 g Spinach and 20 g Parmesan. Continue stirring until the spinach has wilted.
- Drain the pasta and reserve a little pasta water. Add the pasta and reserved water to the chicken mixture. Mix well so that all the pasta is coated. Season to taste.
Notes
- To make this even quicker, use some fresh tagliatelle which is ready in a few minutes.
- Don't forget to reserve some of the pasta water. You really don't want to skip this step, as it makes the sauce so silky.
- If you like your food spicy, then add a sprinkle of red chilli flakes on top before serving.
- Add a splash of olive oil to the pan before serving for an extra boost of flavour.
- Serve with extra Parmesan and cracked black pepper if you like.
