Cooking Steps
ā¢ Bring a large saucepan of salted water to the boil. ā¢ Cook fusilli in the boiling water until āal denteā, 12 minutes. ā¢ 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!
ā¢ Meanwhile, thinly slice carrot into half-moons. Trim green beans.
ā¢ In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over a medium-high heat. ā¢ Cook diced bacon, breaking up with a spoon, until golden, 4-6 minutes.
If you've doubled your shredded Cheddar cheese, sprinkle it over the pasta bake, as above.
ā¢ While pasta bake is grilling, wipe out frying pan and return to a medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. ā¢ Cook green beans and carrot until tender, 4-6 minutes. ā¢ Add garlic paste and cook until fragrant, 1 minute.
ā¢ Divide bacon and Cheddar pasta bake between bowls. ā¢ Serve with the sautĆ©ed veggies. Enjoy!
