Ingredients (4 servings): 240g whole wheat or chickpea pasta 400g chicken breast, diced 50g Parmesan cheese, grated 30g cheddar, shredded 1 cup (240ml) unsweetened milk (low-fat or plant-based) 2 tsp cornstarch 2 cups (60g) spinach, chopped 1 tsp smoked paprika 1 tsp dried oregano 1 tsp black pepper 1/2 tsp salt 4 cloves garlic, minced 2 tsp olive oil or butter 2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved 1 tsp olive oil (for roasting) 1/2 tsp dried thyme or oregano (for roasting)
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss the halved cherry tomatoes with 1 tsp olive oil, dried thyme/oregano, salt, and pepper. Spread them on a baking sheet in a single layer and roast for 15-20 minutes until soft and slightly caramelized. Boil the pasta in salted water until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water before draining. Heat 2 tsp olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the diced chicken, season with paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper. Cook for 7-8 minutes until golden brown. In a small bowl, whisk together milk and cornstarch until smooth. Lower the heat, add garlic to the pan, and sauté for 1 minute. Stir in the milk mixture, Parmesan, and smoked cheddar. Cook until the sauce is creamy and smooth. Add pasta water if needed to reach desired consistency. Add the spinach to the sauce and stir until wilted. Toss in the cooked pasta, mixing until well-coated in the creamy sauce. Gently fold in the roasted cherry tomatoes. Serve & enjoy! Optionally, sprinkle extra Parmesan or black pepper on top.
