A packet of baby spinach, a barbecue chicken, a packet of penne pasta, a jar of pasta bake sauce, some parmesan cheese, small punnet of mushrooms, garlic and some fresh herbs – rosemary and parsley. Oh, and some olive oil to cook it with.

Put your pot of boiling water on for the pasta and get it going, then saute your mushrooms with the garlic and rosemary. Then try not to eat too many before you need to use them!

Next, add the shredded meat from the barbecue chicken and the baby spinach to what’s left of the mushrooms and cook for a few minutes. Get that spinach nice and wilted. By this stage your pasta would be just about cooked.

Drain the pasta and mix with the chicken, spinach and mushrooms as well as the jar of pasta sauce.

Place it all in a big lasagne-sized baking dish, top with parmesan cheese and then bake for twenty minutes.
