Penne al la Vodka with Chicken
If this isn't already a classic in your house it soon will be! Simple, full of flavour and just a little decadent for a meal so easy to throw together. The alcohol from the vodka will evaporate but if you don't consume alcohol or are worried about the kids then by all means leave it out and you will still have a winning dish, just add a few cracks of pepper to replicate the peppery finish of the vodka.

First Things First
Our vegetables and fruit come as fresh as can be, so please give them a quick wash before you get started.
As well as your basic cooking tools, you will need...
Large Pot
Frypan
Colander
1 Prepare Ingredients
Bring a pot of salted water to the boil for Step 2. Slice chicken into thin strips. Pick parsley leaves and roughly chop. Toast pine nuts over low heat for 2 minutes or until golden. Trim broccolini and cut into small pieces.
Tip! The heatwave has affected spinach supply so we have swapped in broccolini. Yum!
2 Cook Pasta
Once the water is rapidly boiling, add pasta and cook for 8-10 minutes until cooked al dente. Drain pasta, reserving a mug of pasta water for the sauce.
3 Make Sauce
Whilst pasta is cooking, heat a pan over high heat. Sear chicken for 2 minutes until browned. Add the tomato paste and vodka, cook for 2-3 minutes until vodka has evaporated. Add cream and broccolini and simmer, adding a little pasta water if needed, cook for 5 minutes. Add pasta stirring to combine. Add half of the parsley, pine nuts and parmesan.
Tip! You can leave the vodka out if you don't consume alcohol.
