Instructions
• Boil the kettle. • Thinly slice leek. Thinly slice apple into wedges. • Pour boiled water into a large saucepan over high heat with a pinch of salt. • Cook fusilli in boiling water until ‘al dente’, 12 minutes. • Reserve some pasta water (1/2 cup for 2 people / 1 cup for 4 people). Drain fusilli, then return to saucepan.
• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over high heat. • Add diced chicken, diced bacon and leek and cook, tossing occasionally, breaking up with a spoon, until golden, 5-6 minutes • SPICY! This is a mild spice blend, but use less if you're sensitive to heat! Add All-American spice blend and cook, until fragrant, 1 minute.
• Reduce heat to medium, add longlife cream (see ingredients) and reserved pasta water, and simmer, stirring, until slightly reduced, 2-3 minutes. • Remove pan from heat, add fusilli and half the shredded Cheddar cheese and stir until combined. Season to taste.
• Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine apple, mixed salad leaves, a drizzle of white wine vinegar and olive oil. Season to taste. • Divide creamy Cajun chicken and bacon fusilli between bowls. Garnish with the remaining Cheddar. • Serve with garden salad. Enjoy!
