Creamy, spicy, and ridiculously moreish. The ’nduja gives a gentle kick, the mascarpone smooths it out, and the lemon and rocket keep it fresh.

Ingredients

  • 200 g penne pasta
  • 80 g ’nduja
  • 125 g cream cheese
  • 100 ml chicken stock or just use water
  • Zest and juice of ½ lemon
  • 80 g sun-dried tomatoes sliced
  • 30 g rocket
To serve:
  • Parmesan grated

Instructions

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to the boil and cook the penne according to pack instructions. Reserve a small mug of pasta water before draining.
  • While the pasta cooks, add the ’nduja to a large pan over low heat and let it soften for a minute. Stir in the cream cheese and the chicken stock until smooth and creamy.
  • Add the drained pasta straight into the pan along with the zest and the juice of the lemon. Toss well so the pasta is fully coated. Add a little pasta water if needed to keep it silky.
  • Take it off the heat and stir through the sun-dried tomatoes, and the rocket so it just wilts. Season to taste with salt and black pepper.
  • Serve immediately with plenty of grated Parmesan.
