Whip up this tasty one-pot pasta dish next time you need a quick and easy meal the whole family will happily wolf down.

Ingredients

  • 450 g (6 cups) fusilli
  • 2 tbs olive oil
  • 2 large skinless chicken breasts, diced
  • 250 g (3 cups) button mushrooms, cleaned and halved
  • 4 tbs crème fraîche
  • 75 g (1/2 cup) feta, crumbled
  • 1/2 lemon, juiced
  • 2 spring onions, thinly sliced
  • Salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper

Method

Step 1.
Cook the fusilli in a large saucepan of salted, boiling water until al dente, about 10-12 minutes usually. Drain well and set aside to cool, covered with a tea towel.

Step 2.
Heat the oil in a frying pan set over a moderate heat until hot. Add the chicken and some salt and pepper, sautéing until golden and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes. Remove to a plate.

Step 3.
Melt the butter in the pan before adding the mushrooms and a generous pinch of salt. Sauté until tender and golden, about 5-7 minutes. Stir in half the spring onion and set off the heat.

Step 4.
Tip the pasta, chicken, and the mushrooms and spring onions from the pan into a large serving bowl. Add the crème fraîche, feta, lemon juice, and some salt and pepper to taste, stirring to combine.

Step 5.
Top with the remaining spring onion before serving.
