• Half-fill a large saucepan with water, add a generous pinch of salt, then bring to the boil. • Meanwhile, roughly chop mild chorizo. Cut chicken breast into 2cm chunks. • Cook fusilli in boiling water, over high heat, until ‘al dente’, 12 minutes. • Reserve some pasta water (1/4 cup for 2 people / 1/2 cup for 4 people). Drain fusilli, then return to saucepan.
• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook chorizo and chicken, tossing occasionally, until browned and cooked through, 5-6 minutes. • Add garlic & herb seasoning and cook until fragrant, 1 minute.
• Reduce heat to medium, add bechamel sauce, tinned cherry tomatoes (see ingredients) and a splash of the reserved pasta water and cook until slightly reduced, 2-3 minutes. • Remove pan from heat, stir through cooked fusilli and baby spinach leaves. Season to taste. TIP: Add a splash more of pasta water if the mixture looks dry.
• Divide quick creamy cherry tomato, chicken and chorizo fusilli between bowls. • Sprinkle over grated Parmesan cheese and tear over parsley to serve. Enjoy! Little cooks: Add the finishing touch by sprinkling the cheese on top.
