• Boil the kettle. • Pour boiling water into a large saucepan over a high heat. Cook fusilli in the boiling water until 'al dente', 11 minutes. • Reserve some pasta water, then drain and return fusilli to the saucepan. TIP: 'Al dente' pasta is cooked through but still slightly firm in the centre.
• When the pasta has 5 minutes cook time remaining, heat a large frying pan over a medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. • Cook diced bacon, breaking up with a spoon, until golden, 2-3 minutes. • Add garlic paste and herb & mushroom seasoning and cook until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. • Reduce heat to medium. Add tinned cherry tomatoes, chicken-style stock powder and some reserved pasta water (1/4 cup for 2 people / 1/2 cup for 4 people). Cook until reduced slightly, 3-4 minutes.
• Stir through the fusilli, basil pesto, baby spinach leaves, butter and brown sugar. Remove from heat and season with salt and pepper. TIP: If the sauce looks dry, stir through a splash of reserved pasta water.
• Divide bacon, cherry tomato and pesto fusilli between bowls. • Top with grated Parmesan cheese. Enjoy!
