METHOD

Puree the cashew nuts with the hot water. Put your pasta on to boil. Saute the chicken gently for about 3 minutes in the coconut oil. Add the garlic and cherry tomatoes and cook for 5 minutes. Season and add the cashew nut mix and cook for a further 5 minutes. Saute the courgettes in a separate pan so that they caramelise rather than stew. Add the cooked courgettes, the spinach, pine nuts and basil 1 minute before the end. Mix with the cooked pasta and serve.
