Creamy Tomato Chicken & Bacon Orecchiette
with Parmesan & Baby Leaves
A penny for your thoughts? Well, we’re thinking of tender chicken, bacon and pasta in a rich and creamy pink sauce. With carrot for goodness, and a scattering of grated parmesan cheese, this is the simple, yet tasty bowl of your (and our) dreams!
We’ve replaced the penne in this recipe with orecchiette due to local ingredient availability. It may be a little different to what’s pictured, but just as delicious!

Cooking Steps
• Boil the kettle. Pour boiling water into a large saucepan with a pinch of salt. • Add orecchiete to the boiling water and cook, over high heat, until 'al dente', 11 minutes. • Reserve some pasta water (1/2 cup for 2 people / 1 cup for 4 people), then drain and return penne to the saucepan. • Meanwhile, grate carrot. 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 high heat. When oil is hot, cook diced chicken, bacon and sliced leek, breaking up bacon with a spoon, 6-7 minutes. • Add tomato paste (see ingredients) and garlic & herb seasoning and cook until fragrant, 1-2 minutes.
• Reduce heat to low, then add cream (see ingredients), chicken-style stock powder, cooked orecchiette, baby leaves, a splash of reserved pasta
water and half the grated Parmesan cheese. Stir until warmed through, 1-2 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.TIP: If the sauce looks too thick, stir through a splash more reserved pasta water
to loosen.
• Divide creamy tomato, chicken and bacon penne between bowls. • Top with remaining Parmesan cheese. Enjoy! Little cooks: Kids can add the finishing touch by sprinkling the cheese on top
