The twirliest pasta of them all, wholemeal fusilli, gets that much better with the addition of a creamy pesto sauce to soak all up. Fetta cubes take things up a notch and tips its head to some great flavours of the Mediterranean.

1

• Boil kettle. Half-fill a large saucepan with boiling water, then add a generous pinch of salt. • Cook wholemeal fusilli in the boiling water until ‘al dente’, 12 minutes. • Reserve some pasta water (1/2 cup for 2 people / 1 cup for 4 people). Drain and return to saucepan.

2

• Cut chicken tenderloins into 2cm chunks. • In a medium bowl, combine chicken, Nan's special seasoning, a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of salt.

3

• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over high heat. • When oil is hot, cook chicken, tossing occasionally, until browned and cooked through, 5-6 minutes. • Transfer to a bowl, season and set aside.

TIP: Chicken is cooked through when it is no longer pink inside.

4

• Wipe out frying pan and return to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. • Cook diced bacon, soffritto mix and a pinch of salt, breaking up with a spoon, until softened, 5-6 minutes.

5

• Reduce heat to medium, stir in the reserved pasta water and passata, and simmer until slightly reduced, 1-2 minutes. • Remove from heat, then add drained pasta, red pesto, cooked chicken and baby spinach leaves, tossing to combine. • Season to taste.
