• Boil the kettle. Fill a medium saucepan with boiling water and place over high heat. To pan, add a pinch of salt.
• Cook orecchiette 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 and brown onion (see ingredients). Thinly slice apple into wedges (1/2 apple // 1 apple).

• Heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook diced bacon and onion, breaking up bacon with a spoon, until golden, 4-5 minutes.
• Reduce heat to medium, add tomato paste, garlic & herb seasoning and garlic and cook until fragrant, 1 minute.
• Stir in the vegetable stock pot, light cooking cream and reserved pasta water and simmer until slightly reduced, 1-2 minutes.
• Add cooked orecchiette and half the baby spinach leaves, gently stir to combine and cook until wilted slightly.

• In a medium bowl, combine apple, the remaining spinach, roasted almonds, balsamic vinaigrette dressing and a drizzle of olive oil. Season to taste.
• Divide saucy tomato bacon orecchiette between bowls. Top with Parmesan cheese.
• Serve with apple salad. Enjoy!
