Cooking Steps

Cook the spaghetti
1

• Half-fill a large saucepan with water, add a generous pinch of salt, then bring to the boil over high heat. • Cook spaghetti in the boiling water until ‘al dente’, 10 minutes. • Reserve some pasta water (1/4 cup for 2 people / 1/2 cup for 4 people). Drain spaghetti, then return to saucepan. TIP: ‘Al dente’ pasta is cooked through but still slightly firm in the centre.

Cook the chicken
2

• Meanwhile, roughly chop tomato. • Cut chicken thigh into 2cm chunks. • In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. • Cook diced bacon, breaking up with a spoon, until golden, 4-6 minutes. Transfer to a bowl. • Return frying pan to high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. When oil is hot, cook chicken, tossing occasionally, until browned and cooked through, 5-6 minutes. TIP: Chicken is cooked through when it’s no longer pink inside.

Make the sauce & bring it all together
3

• Reduce heat to medium, then add tomato and cook until softened, 3-5 minutes. • Add classic roast seasoning and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. • Add cream (see ingredients), chargrilled capsicum relish and reserved pasta water, stir to combine and simmer until slightly reduced, 1 minute. • Remove pan from heat, then add cooked spaghetti and baby leaves, stirring until wilted. Season to taste.

Finish & serve
4

• Divide creamy chicken spaghetti between bowls. Sprinke over with diced bacon. • Garnish with a pinch of chilli flakes (if using) to serve. Enjoy!
