This vegan chicken, baby spinach and sun-dried tomato pasta is going to have you coming back for seconds! Sundried tomatoes add a burst of savoury-yet-sweet tartness, to balance the earthy flavour of fresh baby spinach leaves.

Chicken Spinach Sundried Tomato Vegan Penne Pasta

 

Chicken, Spinach + Sun Dried-Tomato Pasta Recipe

  1. Put a pot of penne pasta on the boil
  2. Chop and fry one onion in olive oil till translucent
  3. Add sweet basil and oregano (dried or fresh herbs are both perfectly good for this recipe.)
  4. Sautee the vegan chicken pieces of your choosing until browned. I used Quorn’s savory pieces, but any meat replacement, or mushrooms, will do.
  5. In a small jug or bowl make a slurry by combining 3 tablespoons of nutritional yeast, 1 teaspoon of corn starch / maizena, 1.5 cups of soya milk, 1 teaspoon olive oil, one vegan chicken stock cube / 1 tablespoon of stock powder. Add to the pot and mix over a medium heat until the sauce begins to thicken somewhat.
  6. Chop up half a cup of sun-dried tomatoes and add this to the chicken mixture pot, along with the sundried tomato’s oil.
  7. When the penne is ‘al dente’, drain and add it to the pot. Coat the pasta with the chicken sauce. TIP: Reserve a cup of the pasta water for later use, should your sauce needs additional liquid.
  8. Add two to three cups of baby spinach leaves to the pot, and stir through till wilted.
  9. Season for salt and pepper, remove from heat and enjoy immediately.
