Cooking Steps

1

Boil the kettle. Pour boiling water into a saucepan over high heat with a pinch of salt. Cook orecchiette in boiling water until ‘al dente’, 8 minutes. Drain and return to pan. Drizzle with a little olive oil to prevent sticking.

2

Meanwhile, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high in a large frying pan. Cook diced bacon, breaking up with a spoon, until just golden, 4-6 minutes. Halve snacking tomatoes. Roughly chop baby spinach leaves. Drain sweetcorn.

3

To the pasta, add bacon, tomatoes, spinach, corn, creamy pesto dressing and basil pesto. Toss to combine. Season to taste. Divide pasta salad between containers. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
