Cooking Steps
• Half-fill a large saucepan with water, add a generous pinch of salt, then bring to the boil over high heat. • Cook penne in boiling water until 'al dente', 12 minutes. • Drain penne, then return to saucepan with chicken-style stock powder and a drizzle with olive oil.
Little cooks: Older kids can help add the pasta to the saucepan under adult supervision. Be careful, the water is boiling!
• Meanwhile, heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. • Cook diced bacon, breaking up with a spoon, until golden, 6-7 minutes.
• While bacon is cooking, finely chop tomato. Cut lemon into wedges. • When you're ready to pack your lunch, stir tomato, baby spinach leaves, bacon, dill & parsley mayonnaise, a good squeeze of lemon juice and a drizzle of olive oil through the penne. Season to taste.
Little cooks: Add the finishing touch by sprinkling the cheese on top.
• Divide between two containers and sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese. Refrigerate. • When you're ready for lunch, stir to combine. Enjoy!
TIP: This pasta salad is best enjoyed cooled!
