how to make

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to boil and cook the penne according to package instructions.
  • While the pasta is cooking, pour the olive oil into a large frying pan. Add the red onion, garlic and a pinch of salt and fry for a few minutes on a medium heat until the onions have softened and are starting to caramelize.
  • Toss in the thawed peas, most of the chilli slices, the lemon zest and Nurishh Garlic and Herb spread, and immediately turn off the heat. Stir well to combine thoroughly.
  • Once the pasta is al dente, drain over a colander filled with the fresh spinach, then transfer to the frying pan and toss together.

finishing touches

  • Make sure the pasta is well coated in the sauce, and adjust the seasoning, then serve into four bowls and top with a handful of arugula and a few slices of the reserved chilli.
