• Preheat oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced. • 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 (1/3 cup for 2 people / 2/3 cup for 4 people). Drain fusilli and return to saucepan.

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