Instructions
1 Prep
Boil a kettle of water and add the boiled water to a large pot over a high heat with a generous pinch of salt. Trim and finely slice the spring onion. Deseed and finely slice the red pepper. Chop the chicken breast into bite-sized strips.
2 Fry
Heat a large pan over a medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Once hot, add the spring onion and peppers with a pinch of salt and fry for 4 min or until softened.
3 Boil pasta
Meanwhile, once the water is boiling, add the fusilli pasta and cook for 8-10 min until 'al dente' or cooked to your liking. Reserve a cup of pasta water (to use in step 6) and drain.
4 Add chicken
Meanwhile, add the cajun spice (spicy!), tomato paste, garlic powder and chicken strips to the pan and fry for 2 min further.
Tip! Substitute the cajun spice for smoked paprika and a pinch of sugar for a milder version!
5 Simmer
After 2 min, add the cooking cream, measured water, 0.5 chicken stock cube and half of the grated Parmesan (reserve the rest for garnish) to the pan and simmer for 5-7 min further or until the chicken is cooked through.
6 Serve
Meanwhile, slice the lemon into wedges. Finely chop the chives. Once the sauce has thickened, add the cooked pasta to the sauce and toss. Season generously with pepper and a squeeze of lemon juice to taste. Divide the Cajun chicken pasta among bowls and garnish with the chives and remaining grated Parmesan. Serve the remaining lemon wedges alongside.
Tip! Add a splash of the reserved pasta water if the sauce looks too dry.
