1

Season the chicken and slice the baby plum tomatoes in half.

Cook tagliatelle pasta according to package instructions for about 10-12 minutes; reserve some pasta water before draining and set aside.

Remove the cooked chicken from the pot and add the sliced tomatoes; mix and let soften for about 2-3 minutes.

5

Add spinach to the tomatoes and cook until it starts to wilt, adding as much spinach as desired.

6

Pour in double cream (or heavy cream) and mix well; season with garlic and sea salt, and add Cajun seasoning for extra flavor.

7

Add Parmesan shavings to the mixture for flavor.

8

Add the cooked pasta to the pot and mix well, adjusting the amount of cream to desired sauciness.

9

Return the cooked chicken to the pot and add reserved pasta water; mix thoroughly.
