Cooking Steps

1

• Half-fill a large saucepan with water, add a generous pinch of salt, then bring to the boil over high heat. • Finely chop garlic. Thinly slice leek. • Cook fusilli in boiling water until ‘al dente’, 12 minutes. • Reserve some pasta water (1/4 cup for 2 people / 1/2 cup for 4 people), then drain and return fusilli to the saucepan. TIP: 'Al dente' pasta is cooked through but still slightly firm in the centre.

2

• 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 and leek, breaking up with a spoon, until golden, 4-5 minutes. • Add garlic and Aussie spice blend and cook until fragrant, 1-2 minutes.

3

• Reduce heat to medium. Add tinned cherry tomatoes, chicken-style stock powder, longlife cream (see ingredients), the brown sugar and the reserved pasta water. Cook until reduced slightly, 3-4 minutes. • Slightly crush cherry tomatoes with the back of a spoon. Stir through cooked fusilli.

4

• Divide creamy bacon and cherry tomato fusilli between bowls. • Top with grated Parmesan cheese. Enjoy!
