Cooking Steps
• 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.
TIP: ‘Al dente’ pasta is cooked through but still slightly firm in the centre.
• 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.
• Reduce heat to medium, then add cream (see ingredients), baby leaves,
reserved pasta water and the salt and simmer until slightly reduced,
1-2 minutes.
• Remove pan from heat, then add cooked fusilli and basil pesto, then stir
to combine.
• Divide rich bacon and pesto fusilli between bowls.
• Sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese to serve. Enjoy!
