• Half-fill a large saucepan with water, add a generous pinch of salt, then bring to the boil over high heat. • Cook fusilli in boiling water until ‘al dente’, 12 minutes. • Drain fusilli, then return to saucepan with chicken style stock powder and a drizzle with olive oil.
Little cooks: Older kids can help add the pasta to the saucepan under adult supervision. Be careful, the water is boiling!
• Meanwhile, cut chicken breast into 2cm chunks. • Heat a large frying pan with a drizzle of olive oil over high heat. When oil is hot, cook chicken, tossing occasionally, until browned and cooked through, 5-6 minutes. Transfer to a plate. • Return frying pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook diced bacon, breaking up with a spoon, until golden, 6-7 minutes.
• While bacon is cooking, finely chop tomato. • Cut lemon into wedges.
• When you're ready to pack your lunch, stir tomato, baby spinach leaves, chicken, bacon, dill & parsley mayonnaise, a good squeeze of lemon juice and a drizzle of olive oil through the fusilli. Season to taste. • Divide between two containers and sprinkle over grated Parmesan cheese. Refrigerate. Enjoy!
TIP: This pasta salad is best enjoyed cooled! Little cooks: Add the finishing touch by sprinkling the cheese on top.
