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.

Produced in a facility that processes eggs, milk, fish, peanuts, sesame, shellfish, soy, tree nuts and wheat.

Cooking Steps

1

• 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 saucepan. Drizzle with olive oil to prevent sticking.

Little cooks: Older kids, help add the pasta to the saucepan under adult supervision. Be careful, the water is boiling!

2

• Meanwhile, thinly slice carrot into half-moons. Trim green beans.

3

• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. • Cook diced bacon, breaking bacon up with a spoon, until golden, 4-6 minutes.

4

• Preheat grill to high. • To the pan with bacon, stir in 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.

5

• While pasta bake is grilling, wipe out frying pan and return to a medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. • Cook green beans and carrot, tossing until tender, 4-6 minutes. • Add garlic paste and cook until fragrant, 1 minute.
