1 packet
fusilli
(Contains: Gluten(Wheat); May be present: Soy, Eggs)
1
leek
1 packet
diced bacon
1 sachet
Garlic & Herb Seasoning
1 packet
Baby Leaves
½ packet
cream
(Contains: Milk; )
1 packet
Plant-Based Basil Pesto
(Contains: cashews; May be present: Soy, Eggs, Gluten, Fish, Milk, Sesame)
1 packet
Grated Parmesan Cheese
(Contains: Milk; )
1 packet
beef mince
olive oil

• Boil a full kettle of water. Pour boiled water into a large saucepan over high heat with a pinch of salt. • Add fusilli to the boiling water and cook until ‘al dente’, 12 minutes. • Reserve some pasta water (1/4 cup for 2 people / 1/2 cup for 4 people), then drain and return pasta to the saucepan.
TIP: 'Al dente' pasta is cooked through but still slightly firm in the centre.

• Meanwhile, thinly slice leek.

• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook beef mince, leek and diced bacon, breaking up with a spoon, until golden, 4-5 minutes. • Add garlic & herb seasoning and baby leaves, and cook until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. • Remove pan from heat and add cream (see ingredients), basil pesto, fusilli and reserved pasta water. Season with salt and pepper, and stir to combine.

• Divide beef, bacon and pesto fusilli between bowls. • Sprinkle over grated Parmesan cheese. Enjoy!
