Spray a non-stick frying pan with 1 cal cooking spray and put it over a medium heat. Add the chicken and cook for 5 minutes, or until browned. Add the garlic, sundried tomatoes, paprika and oregano and cook for a further minute or so, before adding the stock and lemon zest and juice. Simmer for 5 minutes.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2. Meanwhile, cook the tagliatelle according to the pack instructions.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>3. Stir the quark and spinach into the sauce and mix well. Season lightly and cook for a minute or so to wilt the spinach.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>4. Add the pasta to the pan and stir it through the sauce until fully coated. Divide between 2 bowls and top with the basil leaves. Serve with your favourite Speed veg or salad, if you like.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Spice up your inbox!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Have you tried our convenient recipe box service?
