Cooking Steps

Cook the pasta
1

• Boil the kettle. Heat a large saucepan over high heat with a pinch of salt. Add boiling water to saucepan. • Cook fusilli in the boiling water until ‘al dente’, 11 minutes. Reserve some pasta water(see ingredients). • Drain and return pasta to saucepan.

Start the sauce
2

• Meanwhile, grate zucchini. Finely chop garlic. Thinly slice leek. • Heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook diced bacon and leek, breaking up with a spoon, until golden, 6-8 minutes. • Add garlic, garlic & herb seasoning and zucchini and cook until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. Little cooks: Under adult supervision, older kids can help grate the zucchini.

Bring it all together

• Reduce heat to medium and add thickened cream, vegetable stock powder and the reserved pasta water, simmer until slightly thickened, 1-2 minutes. • Add basil pesto, fusilli and baby spinach leaves. Stir to combine and season to taste. TIP: Add a splash more pasta water if the sauce looks too thick.

Finish & serve
