Method

  • step 1

    Cook the pasta in boiling water for 8-10 minutes, or according to packet instructions, until just tender.

  • step 2

    Meanwhile, heat the oil and fry the chicken over a high heat for 4-5 minutes, stirring, until golden and cooked. Add the garlic, cream, tarragon and 3 tbsp of the pasta cooking liquid. Gently heat through.

  • step 3

    When the pasta is cooked, stir in the spinach (it will immediately wilt in the hot water). Drain well, then toss into the creamy chicken. Season with salt and pepper and serve with lemon for squeezing.

I used some of the mushroom water, in place of the water from the pasta pan. It was…

I made this with spaghetti, adding frozen spinach for the final 4 minutes, also cooked chopped shallots with skinless, boneless chicken thighs before adding double cream, white wine mixed with a small amount of cornflour and then the chopped tarragon.
