Utensils

•Medium Pan

•Large Non-Stick Pan

Cooking Steps

• Bring a large saucepan of salted water to the boil. • Finely chop garlic. Thinly slice apple and button mushrooms.

• Cook spaghetti in the boiling water, over high heat until 'al dente', 10 minutes. • Reserve some pasta water (1/4 cup for 2 people / 1/2 cup for 4 people), then drain and return spaghetti to the saucepan.

TIP: 'Al dente' pasta is cooked through but still slightly firm in the centre.

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

• Meanwhile, heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. When oil is hot, cook diced bacon, breaking up with a spoon, until golden, 6-7 minutes. • Add mushrooms and cook until softened, 5-6 minutes. • Add garlic and garlic & herb seasoning and cook until fragrant, 1 minute.

• In a medium bowl, combine balsamic vinegar and a drizzle of olive oil, then season with salt and pepper. • Add salad leaves and apple. Set aside.

Little cooks: Take the lead by combining the ingredients for the dressing!

• Reduce the frying pan to medium heat. Add cream (see ingredients), grated Parmesan cheese, cooked spaghetti, baby spinach and a splash of reserved pasta water and cook, tossing, until the spaghetti is coated in the sauce, 1-2 minutes. Season to taste and set aside.

TIP: If the sauce looks too thick, add a splash more of reserved pasta water to loosen.

TIP: If your frying pan isn't big enough, toss everything together in the saucepan!
