Cooking Steps

1

• Half-fill a large saucepan with water, add a generous pinch of salt, then bring to the boil over high heat.
• Cook fusilli in boiling water until ‘al dente’, 12 minutes.
• Reserve pasta water (1/4 cup for 2 people / 1/2 cup for 4 people). Drain fusilli, then return to saucepan.

2

• Meanwhile, trim and halve green beans.
• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat.
• Add diced bacon and green beans, and cook, breaking up with a spoon, until golden, 6-7 minutes.

3

• Reduce heat to medium, add longlife cream (see ingredients), baby spinach leaves, the reserved pasta water and the salt, and simmer, until slightly reduced, 1-2 minutes.
• Remove pan from heat, add the cooked fusilli and plant-based basil pesto, and stir to combine.

4

• Divide creamy bacon and basil pesto fusilli between bowls to serve. Enjoy!
