Cooking Steps

• Boil the kettle. Finely chop garlic. • Half-fill a large saucepan with water, add a generous pinch of salt, then bring to the boil over high heat. Cook orecchiette in boiling water until 'al dente', 8 minutes. • Reserve some pasta water (1/3 cup for 2 people / 2/3 cup for 4 people), then drain orecchiette and return pasta to saucepan.

TIP: 'Al dente' pasta is cooked through but still slightly firm in the centre. Little cooks: Older kids, help add the pasta to the saucepan under adult supervision. Be careful, the water is boiling!

• Meanwhile, heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook sliced mushrooms and diced bacon, breaking up with a spoon, until golden, 5-7 minutes. • Add snacking tomatoes and cook, stirring, 2-3 minutes. Add garlic and garlic & herb seasoning and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. • Reduce heat to medium and add passata and the reserved pasta water. Cook until reduced slightly, 2-3 minutes. • Stir through orecchiette, basil pesto, the butter and brown sugar. Season with salt and pepper.

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

• Meanwhile, thinly slice cucumber into rounds. • In a medium bowl combine cucumber, mixed salad leaves and a drizzle of vinegar and olive oil. • Toss to coat. Season with salt and pepper.

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