Type:

SMART Protein

Ingredients

  • Vetta SMART Protein Pasta

  • Chicken breast, diced

  • Garlic, generous amount, fresh or minced (fresh is my preference)

  • Salt and pepper

  • Lemon juice

  • Basil, generous amount

  • Baby spinach

  • Brown onion, diced

Method

1. Cook the pasta until al dente. Drain, rinse and set aside.

3. Add the baby spinach and diced onion. Cook until the spinach has wilted and the onion has softened.

4. Add the cooked pasta. Season with salt, pepper and plenty of basil, then toss to combine.

5. Add the chopped cherry tomatoes and toss through for a few seconds, just enough to warm them without letting them blister.

6. Stir through the Parmesan cheese.

7. Add chopped pine nuts and toss.

8. Serve and enjoy!
