Quick Saucy Tomato Bacon Pasta

with Garlic Pangrattato & Apple Salad

'Pangrattato' is Italian for breadcrumb and it adds a delicious, traditional crunch when sprinkled over pasta. Fusilli is the perfect pasta shape for cradling this creamy bacon sauce.

We’ve replaced the orecchiette in this recipe with fusilli due to local ingredient availability. It’ll be just as delicious, just follow your recipe card!

Cooking Steps

1

• Boil the kettle. Fill a medium saucepan with boiling water and place over high heat. To pan, add a pinch of salt. • Cook fusilli in the boiling water until 'al dente', 11 minutes. Reserve some pasta water (1/4 cup for 2 people / 1/2 cup for 4 people). Drain and return to the saucepan.

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

• Meanwhile, finely chop garlic. Finely chop brown onion (see ingredients). • Heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat with a generous drizzle of olive oil. Cook panko breadcrumbs (see ingredients), stirring until golden brown, 3 minutes. • Add half the garlic and cook until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. Transfer to a small bowl and season to taste with salt and pepper.

• Return frying pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook diced bacon and onion, breaking up bacon with a spoon, until golden, 3-5 minutes. • Reduce heat to medium, then add tomato paste, garlic & herb seasoning and remaining garlic and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. • Stir in chicken stock pot (see ingredients), light cooking cream, Parmesan cheese and reserved pasta water and simmer until slightly reduced, 1-2 minutes. • Add cooked fusilli and half the baby spinach leaves, gently stir to combine and cook until wilted slightly.

Season to taste. • Divide saucy tomato bacon pasta between bowls. • Top with garlic pangrattato. • Serve with apple salad. Enjoy!
