Cooking Steps
• Half-fill a large saucepan with water, add a generous pinch of salt, then
bring to the boil over high heat.
• Cook spaghetti in boiling water until ‘al dente’, 9 minutes.
• Reserve some pasta water(see ingredients). Drain spaghetti, then return
to saucepan. Drizzle with olive oil.
TIP: ‘Al dente’ pasta is cooked through but still slightly firm in the centre
• Meanwhile, halve snacking tomatoes.
• Pick thyme leaves.
• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook
diced bacon, breaking up with a spoon, until golden, 4-6 minutes.
• Add tomatoes and cook, until slightly blistered, 2-3 minutes.
Little cooks: Help pick the thyme leaves from the stems!
• To the pan, add garlic & herb seasoning and garlic paste and cook until
fragrant, 1 minute.
• Stir in passata, light cooking cream, stock concentrate, thyme and the
reserved pasta water and simmer, until slightly thickened, 2-3 minutes.
• Remove from heat, then stir in baby spinach leaves and cooked spaghetti.
Season with pepper.
• Divide bacon and cherry tomato spaghetti between bowls.
• Top with marinated goat cheese to serve. Enjoy!
Little cooks: Add the finishing touch by topping with the goat cheese!
