Cooking steps

Cook the Rigatoni
1
  • Boil a large pot of salted water for the rigatoni.
  • When boiling, add the rigatoni to the water and bring back to the boil.
  • Cook until softened, 10-12 mins.
  • Once cooked, drain in a colander and pop back in the pot, off the heat.
  • Drizzle with oil and stir through to prevent sticking. 

TIP: If you’re in a hurry you can boil the water in your kettle.

  • Halve the tomatoes.
  • Slice the bacon into 2cm cubes. IMPORTANT: Wash hands and equipment after handling raw meat.
Start the Sauce
3
  • Place a large pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil.
  • Fry the chicken until browned, 5-6 mins. IMPORTANT: Wash hands and equipment after handling raw chicken and its packaging. Chicken is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.
  • Add the bacon and fry until crispy, 3-4 mins. Cook lardons throughly.
  • Add the tomatoes and garlic. Cook until softened, 4-5 mins. Stir the pesto, spinach and creme fraiche into the pan.
