We've taken all the fuss out of this feast and injected loads of shining flavour with our smokey Texan-style beef brisket that's already been slow-cooked to tender perfection. Stack the dinner table with all the fanciful fixings of cheesy fusilli (reminiscent of mac 'n' cheese), crunchy slaw and BBQ sauce as marinade to complete tonight's star protein.

• Preheat oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced. Bring a large saucepan of salted water to the boil. • In a baking dish, place slow-cooked beef brisket. Pour liquid from packaging over the beef. Cover tightly with foil and bake for 12 minutes. • Turn beef, then add BBQ sauce and re-cover with foil. Bake until heated through and liquid has slightly reduced, a further 12 minutes.
• While the beef is baking, cook fusilli (see ingredients) in the saucepan with boiling water, over high heat, until ‘al dente’, 10 minutes. • Drain pasta, then transfer to a second baking dish.
TIP: 'Al dente' pasta is cooked through but still slightly firm in the centre.
• Meanwhile, finely chop garlic. Roughly chop parsley leaves. Grate carrot (see ingredients). Drain the sweetcorn. • Heat a large frying pan over high heat. Cook sweetcorn until lightly browned, 4-5 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl.
TIP: Cover the pan with a lid if the kernels are “popping” out.
• Return the frying pan to medium heat with the butter, garlic and a drizzle of olive oil. Cook until fragrant, 1 minute. • Add the plain flour and cook, stirring, until a thick paste forms, 2 minutes. Slowly whisk in the milk until smooth. • Add cream (see ingredients), chicken-style stock powder and half the grated Parmesan cheese. Cook until slightly thickened, 2-3 minutes. Season with pepper. • Pour cream sauce over pasta, evenly sprinkle over remaining Parmesan cheese and bake until golden and bubbling, 8-10 minutes.
• While the pasta is baking, add shredded cabbage mix to the charred corn, along with carrot, parsley and a drizzle of white wine vinegar and olive oil. Season with salt and pepper, then toss to combine.
• Slice Texan-style BBQ beef brisket. • Bring everything to the table to serve. Help yourself to beef brisket, cheesy fusilli and charred corn slaw. Enjoy!
