• Boil the kettle. • Fill a large saucepan with boiling water with a pinch of salt. Cook spaghetti in boiling water, over high heat, until ‘al dente’, 10 minutes. • Reserve some pasta water (1/2 cup for 2 people / 1 cup for 4 people) then drain and return spaghetti to the saucepan with a drizzle of olive oil.
Little cooks: Older kids can help add the pasta to the saucepan under adult supervision. Be careful, the water is boiling!
• Meanwhile, finely chop garlic. Cut chicken breast into 2cm chunks. • In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over high heat. When oil is hot, cook chicken, diced bacon and soffritto mix, tossing occasionally, until browned and cooked through, 6-7 minutes. • Add garlic, tomato paste and Nan's special seasoning. Cook until fragrant, 1 minute.
• Reduce heat to medium, then add cream (see ingredients) and some reserved pasta water (1/4 cup for 2 people / 1/2 cup for 4 people). Cook until slightly thickened, 1-2 minutes. • Stir through cooked spaghetti and season to taste.
TIP: Add a splash of pasta water if the sauce looks too thick.
• Divide creamy chicken, bacon and tomato spaghetti between bowls. • Sprinkle with chilli flakes (if using) and tear over parsley leaves to serve. Enjoy!
Little cooks: Help tear over the parsley.
