Cooking Steps
- Boil the kettle. Pour boiled water into a large saucepan over high heat with a pinch of salt.
- Add spaghetti to the boiling water and cook, over a high heat, until ‘al dente', 9 minutes.
- Reserve pasta water (1/4 cup for 2 people / 1/2 cup for 4 people).
- Drain spaghetti, 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 and thinly slice 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 (cook in batches if your pan is getting crowded).
Little cooks: Help get the ingredients ready for the sauce!
- Reduce heat to medium and add cream, the salt and reserved pasta water and cook, stirring, until slightly thickened, 1-2 minutes.
- Remove pan from heat, then add cooked spaghetti and plant-based basil pesto and toss to coat. Season to taste.
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.
- Divide yummy green bean and bacon pesto spaghetti between bowls.
- Sprinkle over grated Parmesan cheese to serve. Enjoy!
Little cooks: Add the finishing touch by sprinkling over the Parmesan cheese! ELEVATE ME: If you've added extra ingredients to your recipe, slice lemon into wedges. Sprinkle over chilli flakes. Tear over parsley and serve with lemon wedges.
