Cooking Steps

• Bring a medium saucepan of salted water to the boil. • Thinly slice apple into wedges. Finely chop garlic. Grate the carrot.

• Cook fusilli in the boiling water until 'al dente', 12 minutes. • Reserve some pasta water (1/4 cup for 2 people / 1/2 cup for 4 people), then drain and return fusilli to the saucepan. Drizzle with a little olive oil to prevent sticking and cover to keep warm.

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!

• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook diced bacon, breaking up with a spoon, until golden, 4-5 minutes. • Add garlic and the butter and cook until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. • Add cream (see ingredients), garlic & herb seasoning and reserved pasta water. Season with pepper and cook until slightly reduced, 2-3 minutes.
