Using quarg is a low-fat alternative to a richer soft cheese like mascarpone, and blends really well into a quick sauce with the rocket and walnuts.

Instructions

Cook the pasta in a large pot of boiling water until al dente. Drain.

Combine the rocket, quarg and walnuts in a blender and whiz together until a smooth sauce forms. Taste and adjust with salt and pepper to suit.

Fold the smoked chicken and sauce through the hot pasta until well combined. Add a few fresh rocket leaves if you like.

Serve the pasta with a dash of olive oil and a sprinkle of parmesan.
