Cooking Steps
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• Divide Nan's pesto chicken, bacon and wholemeal fusilli between bowls. • Crumble over fetta cubes to serve. Enjoy!
