1/2 lemon, zested, juiced

Method
1
Heat the reserved oil in a large deep frying pan over medium heat. Add chicken and cook, turning once, for 3 minutes or until lightly golden. Add garlic and cook, stirring, for 30 seconds or until fragrant. Stir in flour to coat the chicken and cook for 1 minute.

Pour in milk, add tomato strips and herbs. Stir to combine. Simmer for 4 minutes, or until the sauce thickens slightly.

Meanwhile, cook pasta according to packet instructions. Drain, reserving ½ cup cooking water.

Remove pan from heat. Stir in lemon zest, juice, and reserved cooking water. Season to taste. Add pasta, spinach, and half of the parmesan. Toss gently until combined and spinach is slightly wilted. Divide among serving bowls and top with remaining parmesan. Serve immediately.
