Cooking Steps

Bring a large saucepan of salted water to the boil. Thinly slice the red onion. Cut the broccoli into small florets and roughly chop the stalk. Slice the lemon in half.

Add the penne to the saucepan of boiling water and cook for 7 minutes. Add the broccoli and cook until tender and the pasta is 'al dente', 3 minutes. Drain the pasta and broccoli.

While the pasta is cooking, heat a large frying pan over a medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Add the onion and diced bacon and cook, stirring, until tender and lightly browned, 8-10 minutes. Add the baby spinach leaves and cook, stirring, until just wilted, 1 minute.

Add the cooked broccoli and pasta, basil pesto, the salt and a pinch of pepper to the frying pan. Crumble in 1/2 the feta. Toss together until well coated. TIP: Tossing some of the feta through the warm pasta will melt the cheese and add a creamy coating.

Add a good squeeze of lemon juice to the pasta. Toss to coat. Season to taste with pepper. TIP: Seasoning is key in this dish. Taste and add a little more lemon juice, salt or pepper if you like.
