Cheese has always been married to pasta, they are inseparable. Make their bond even stronger by baking a thick layer of Cheddar on top of the pasta. Watch as it embraces the penne, bacon, chicken and veggies in a warm — and very tasty — hug. A match made in heaven!

We’ve replaced the fusilli in this recipe with penne due to local ingredient availability. It’ll be just as delicious, just follow your recipe card!

Cooking Steps

• Half-fill a large saucepan with water, add a generous pinch of salt, then bring to the boil over high heat. • Cook penne in the boiling water until ‘al dente’, 12 minutes. • Reserve some pasta water (1/2 cup for 2 people / 1 cup for 4 people), then drain and return to the pan with a drizzle of olive oil to prevent sticking.

Little cooks: Older kids can help add the pasta to the saucepan under adult supervision. Be careful, the water is boiling!

• Meanwhile, finely chop garlic. • Trim and cut baby broccoli into thirds. • Cut chicken breast into 2cm chunks.

• Preheat the grill to high. Heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. • Cook chicken and diced bacon, until cooked through, breaking up bacon with a spoon, 6-7 minutes. • Add baby broccoli and cook until lightly browned, 2-3 minutes.

• Add garlic and Classic Roast seasoning and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. • Add crushed & sieved tomatoes, chicken-style stock powder, cream (see ingredients) and reserved pasta water. Simmer until slightly thickened, 2-3 minutes.

• Stir baby spinach leaves and cooked penne through the sauce, then transfer to a baking dish. • Evenly sprinkle with shredded Cheddar cheese. • Bake until golden, 5-7 minutes.

Little cooks: Add the finishing touch by sprinkling the cheese on top. Careful the pasta sauce is hot!
