Cooking Steps

Cook the fusilli
1

• 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!

Get prepped
2

• Meanwhile, finely chop garlic. • Trim and cut baby broccoli (see ingredients) into thirds.

Cook the bacon
3

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

Make it saucy
4

• Add garlic and classic roast seasoning and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. • Add diced tomatoes with garlic & onion, the salt, the chicken style stock powder, cream (see ingredients) and reserved pasta water. Simmer until slightly thickened, 2-3 minutes.

Bake the pasta
5

• Stir baby 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!

Finish & serve
6

• Divide creamy bacon and baby broccoli pasta bake between bowls to serve. Enjoy!
