Cooking Steps

1

Boil a full kettle. Add the boiling water to a large saucepan and return to the boil with a pinch of salt. Add the fusilli to the boiling water and cook until ‘al dente’, 11 minutes. Drain.

2

While the pasta is cooking, heat a large frying pan over a high heat, add the diced bacon and cherry tomatoes and cook until lightly charred, 3-5 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium and add the garlic paste, tomato paste and nan's special seasoning, cook until fragrant, 1 minute. Add the water and chicken stock powder and bring to a simmer until thickened slightly, 2-3 minutes. While the sauce is cooking, roughly chop the roasted almonds (don't chop almonds to save time if desired!).

3

Add the pasta and baby spinach leaves to the frying pan with the sauce. Toss to coat.

4

Divide the bacon and cherry tomato pasta between bowls. Sprinkle with the grated Parmesan cheese. Sprinkle over the roasted almonds.
