Cooking Steps

1

• Boil the kettle. Pour boiled water into a large saucepan over high heat with a pinch of salt. • Add fusili to the boiling water and cook, over a high heat, until ‘al dente’, 12 minutes. • Reserve pasta water (1/3 cup for 2 people / 2/3 cup for 4 people). Drain fusilli, then return to saucepan.

2

• Meanwhile, cut cauliflower into small florets. • In a large frying pan, heat a good drizzle of olive oil over high heat. • Add cauliflower and diced bacon and cook, breaking up with a spoon, until softened and golden, 6-8 minutes. • Reduce heat to medium, then add the butter, garlic & herb seasoning and the cracked black pepper, and cook, tossing, until fragrant 1 minute. • Add the longlife cream, and simmer, until slightly thickened, 1-2 minutes.

3

• Add cooked pasta, baby spinach leaves, half of the grated Parmesan cheese and the reserved pasta water, tossing well to combine. Season to taste.

4

• Divide creamy bacon and cauliflower pasta between bowls. • Top with remaining Parmesan and a pinch of chilli flakes (if using). Enjoy!
