This simple yet delicious pasta dish goes from pan to plate in a flash. Strings of ‘al dente’ fettuccine are tossed together in a creamy sauce, packed with smoky diced bacon and tender green beans. The addition of herby plant-based basil pesto brings the ultimate fresh flavour. Finish with a generous sprinkling of Parmesan cheese for the perfect comfort meal! We’ve replaced the spaghetti in this recipe with fettuccine due to local ingredient availability. It’ll be just as delicious, just follow your recipe card!

Produced in a facility that processes eggs, milk, fish, peanuts, sesame, shellfish, soy, tree nuts, and wheat.

Cooking Steps

• Boil the kettle. Half-fill a large saucepan with boiling water and add a
generous pinch of salt. Cook fettuccine over high heat, stirring occasionally,
until ‘al dente’, 9 minutes.
• Reserve pasta water (see ingredients). Drain fettuccine, then return to
saucepan with a drizzle of olive oil.

TIP: ‘Al dente’ pasta is cooked through but still slightly firm in the centre.

• Meanwhile, trim green beans and slice into thirds.
• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat.
• Add diced bacon and green beans and cook, tossing occasionally, until
bacon is golden and beans are tender, 6-7 minutes.

• Reduce heat to medium, then add cream (see ingredients), the salt, garlic
& herb seasoning and the reserved pasta water. Cook, stirring, until
slightly thickened, 1-2 minutes.
• Remove pan from heat, then add cooked fettuccine and plant-based basil
pesto and toss to coat. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

TIP: Add a splash more water to your sauce if it’s looking dry!
TIP: Toss the pasta and sauce in the saucepan if your frying pan isn't big
enough.
