  • 300 g pasta
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 400 g chicken breasts, cut into chunks
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 300 g button mushrooms, sliced
  • white wine
  • 200 g spinach leaves, fresh
  • 4 tbsp double cream

Bring a large pan of water to the boil and cook the pasta shapes according to the packet instructions, then drain.

Meanwhile, fry the chicken in the garlic and olive oil in a large pan until cooked through. Add a splash of white wine, season well, and add the mushrooms, cooking for 4-5minutes. Tear the spinach and add to the pan, stirring until the spinach shrinks a bit. Add the cream, cover and simmer for 5minutes.

Once the pasta is ready, drain and stir into the sauce. Tip into a 1.2-litre ovenproof dish, sprinkle with grated Parmesan or Grana Padano. Bake at 180°C/fan160°C/gas 4 for 25 minutes.
