Gluten Free Marry Me Chicken Pasta

Method

  1. Dice and then fry the chicken along with the cherry tomatoes in a frying pan with a little oil or fry light, once the chicken is cooked through, set aside.

  2. In another saucepan, cook the gluten free pasta as per the packet instructions. I used Tesco Free From Rigatoni but you can use any gluten free pasta you prefer.

  3. Roughly dice the onion and crush the garlic, throw into the frying pan you used for the chicken and tomatoes and lightly fry, add the herbs, paprika, stock and salt to frying pan as well and cook until the onions are soft.

  4. Add black pepper, passata, lemon and grated cheddar to the pan once onion is softened. Simmer for 5 mins then using either a stick blender or food processor, blitz the sauce to smooth. If using a food processor return the sauce to the pan after blitzing.

  5. Stir in 2 tbsp Philadelphia, and add the chicken and cherry tomatoes back in plus the cooked pasta and spinach. Allow the chicken to fully warm back through and the spinach to wilt then serve.
