Cooking Steps

• Half-fill a large saucepan with water, add a generous pinch of salt, then bring to the boil over high heat. Finely chop garlic. • 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, then return to saucepan.

TIP: 'Al dente' pasta is cooked through but still slightly firm in the centre.

• When the pasta has 5 minutes remaining, heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook diced bacon and cherry tomatoes, breaking bacon up with a spoon, until golden, 2-3 minutes. • Add garlic and garlic & herb seasoning and cook until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. • Reduce heat to medium. Add passata, beef-style stock powder and some reserved pasta water. Cook until reduced slightly, 2-3 minutes. • Stir through cooked fusilli, basil pesto, the butter and the brown sugar. Remove from heat. Season with salt and pepper.

TIP: If the sauce looks dry, stir through another splash of pasta water.

• In a medium bowl, combine a drizzle of balsamic vinegar and olive oil. • Season, then add chargrilled capsicums and mixed salad leaves. Toss to coat.

Little cooks: Lend a hand by tossing the salad to coat.
