Preparation
1
Cook the pasta

• Boil the kettle. Heat a large saucepan over high heat with a pinch of salt. Add boiled water to saucepan. • Cook fusilli in the boiling water until ‘al dente’, 12 minutes. Reserve some pasta water (1/3 cup for 2 people / 2/3 cup for 4 people). • Drain and return pasta to saucepan.

2
Start the sauce

• In a large frying pan, heat enough olive oil to coat base over medium-high heat.• Cook plant-based crumbed chick'n until golden and heated through, 2-3 minutes on each side. Transfer to a plate. • Meanwhile, grate zucchini. Finely chop garlic. Thinly slice leek. • Return frying pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook leek, stirring, until softened, 4-5 minutes. • Add garlic, garlic & herb seasoning and zucchini and cook until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. Little cooks: Under adult supervision, older kids can help grate the zucchini.

3
Finish the sauce

• Reduce heat to medium and add thickened cream, vegetable stock and the reserved pasta water, simmer until slightly thickened, 1-2 minutes. • Add basil pesto, fusilli and baby spinach leaves. Stir to combine and season to taste. TIP: Add a splash more pasta water if the sauce looks too thick.

4
Finish & serve

• Slice plant-based crumbed chicken. • Divide creamy zucchini and leek fusilli between bowls. • Top with plant-based crumbed chicken and sprinkle over Parmesan to serve. Enjoy! Little cooks: Add the finishing touch by sprinkling over the Parmesan!
