Cooking Steps
Boil the kettle. Half-fill a medium saucepan with boiling water. Cook fusilli in boiling water until ‘al dente’, 12 minutes. Drain and rinse with cold water. Roughly chop baby spinach leaves. Halve cherry tomatoes.
Meanwhile, heat a medium frying pan over high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook diced bacon, breaking up with a spoon, until golden, 4-5 minutes.
Add cooked pasta, basil pesto, grated Parmesan cheese and veggies to bacon and stir to combine. Season to taste. Divide pasta salad between containers, allow to cool completely. Refrigerate.
