Creamy Chicken & Spinach Pasta

Creamy Chicken & Spinach Pasta | I love recipes that come with a dash of nostalgia and this one never fails to deliver. In what now feels like another life, I was in a band with my Swedish pal Jonathan and, while staying at his place, I picked up this great recipe from his family 💛

Serves: 4
Time: 30 mins

300g tagliatelle
1 tbsp olive oil
A knob of butter
400g skinless chicken breasts, sliced into thick strips
3 garlic cloves, peeled and finely chopped
50g ready-to-use sun-dried tomatoes
150g baby spinach leaves
250ml single cream
Parmesan shavings, to serve
Basil leaves, to serve
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

Cook the pasta according to the instructions on the packet. Heat the butter and olive oil in a large frying pan and, when foaming, fry the chicken for about 4–6 minutes or until cooked through. Season with salt and pepper before adding the garlic, sun-dried tomatoes, spinach and fry until the spinach has wilted.
Add the cream and bring to a steady simmer for 3–4 minutes. Once the pasta is cooked, drain and add to the sauce. Toss well and serve straightaway with some fresh basil leaves & Parmesan shavings.

Hi Donal!
It looks delicious!
Isn't it cool what happens to fresh spinach when you cook it? Yes, where does it go?!

It's crazy looking back at these cooking videos now and thinking "that looks so easy" but yet a few years ago i was so out of my depth attempting something like this 😊

What is a good alternative to cream, I'd prefer to cook without cream.
