## Steps

1. Mix all the ingredients for the curry dressing and season to taste with salt, pepper, lemon zest, mustard, sugar and extra curry powder if you like. Let the dressing sit a little so the flavours can develop. (3 min)
2. Cook the pasta according to the packet instructions. (10 min)
3. When the pasta has less than 1 minute left to cook, add the broccoli florets and frozen peas to the pot and cook together for 1 minute. (1 min)
4. Drain and let the pasta, broccoli and peas cool completely. (5 min)
5. Fry the bacon until crisp in a hot pan with a little oil, then place it on kitchen paper to drain. (3 min)
6. Toss the chicken pieces in plain flour, paprika, salt and pepper and fry them in the same pan used for the bacon, adding a little more oil if needed; cook, stirring, until the chicken is golden and cooked through. (7 min)
7. Mix the cooled pasta, broccoli, peas, chicken and finely chopped bacon with the curry dressing in a large bowl. (3 min)
8. Add the spinach and spring onion just before serving and mix well. (1 min)
