Bacon & Cheddar Pasta Bake

with Sautéed Veggies

In this family-friendly pasta bake, spiral-shaped fusilli is perfect for holding onto the creamy tomato and bacon-studded sauce. The gooey Parmesan is the cherry on top, while the crisp sautéed veggies offer extra texture and work to balance out the richness.

Instructions

• Bring a large saucepan of salted water to the boil. • Cook fusilli in the boiling water until ‘al dente’, 12 minutes. • Reserve some pasta water (1/2 cup for 2 people / 1 cup for 4 people). • Drain and return to the pan. Drizzle with olive oil to prevent sticking.

TIP: 'Al dente' pasta is cooked through but still slightly firm in the centre.

• Meanwhile, finely chop garlic. Thinly slice carrot into half-moons.

• Preheat grill to high. • To the pan with bacon, add diced tomatoes with garlic & onion, garlic & herb seasoning, chicken-style stock powder, reserved pasta water and light cooking cream. • Simmer until slightly thickened, 2-3 minutes. • Stir through cooked fusilli and the butter. Season to taste. • Transfer to a baking dish. Sprinkle with shredded Cheddar cheese. Grill until the cheese is melted and golden, 5-7 minutes.

Little cooks: Add the finishing touch by sprinkling the cheese on top.
