TV CHEF PHIL VICKERY’S FAMILY FEASTS: Simple spicy fusilli and sweetcorn

I got quite a bit of flak when I did this recipe on the telly, but I’m not really sure why. I was told it wasn’t real cooking and that it was ‘not cheffy enough’, but I absolutely disagree. It just goes to prove that simple, everyday ingredients can work extremely well if put together carefully.

  • Place the onion, garlic, chilli flakes and sweetcorn into a small saucepan and add the stock cube. Pour in the boiling water until level with the corn, then bring to the boil. Simmer for 5 minutes.
