Cooking Steps

Cook the pasta
1

• Boil the kettle.• Pour boiling water into a large saucepan with a pinch of salt.• Add penne to the boiling water and cook, over high heat, until “al dente”,12 minutes.• Reserve some pasta water (1/2 cup for 2 people / 1 cup for 4 people), then drain and return pasta to the saucepan.TIP: “Al dente” pasta is cooked through but still slightly firm in the centre. 

Cook the chicken & bacon
2

• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over high heat. When oil is hot, cook diced chicken, bacon, sliced leek and courgette, 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.

Make the creamy sauce
3

• Reduce heat to low, then add Longlife cream (see ingredients), chicken-style stock powder, cooked penne a splash of reserved pasta water and half the grated Parmesan cheese to the chicken. Stir until warmed through, 1-2 minutes. Season to taste. TIP: If the sauce looks too thick, stir through a splash more reserved pasta water to loosen.

Finish & serve
4

• 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
