Creamy Basil Pesto & Pork Fusilli

with Garden Salad & Parmesan

In this dish, we've teamed rich basil pesto with a silky cream-based sauce, then followed it up with tender pork mince for a meal that looks and smells every bit as good as it tastes.

Unfortunately, this week's fusilli was in short supply, so some customers will receive farfalle instead. Don't worry, the recipe will be just as delicious, just be sure to follow your recipe card!

Cooking Steps

Get prepped
1

Bring a medium saucepan of salted water to the boil. Thinly slice the tomato and courgette into half-moons.

Cook the fusilli
2

Cook the fusilli in the boiling water until 'al dente', 11 minutes. Drain the fusilli, then return to the saucepan with a drizzle of olive oil to prevent sticking. TIP: 'Al dente' pasta is cooked through but still slightly firm in the centre.

Cook the pork mince
3

While the fusilli is cooking, heat a large frying pan over a high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook the pork mince, breaking it up with a spoon, until just browned, 4-5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a plate and set aside.

Cook the sauce
4

Return the frying pan to a medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook the courgette until softened, 4-5 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium, then add the longlife cream (see ingredients) and garlic & herb seasoning. Return the pork to the pan, stir to combine and cook until slightly reduced, 2-3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from the heat, then add the butter, basil pesto and cooked fusilli. Stir until the butter is melted and well combined.

Toss the salad
5

In a medium bowl, combine the white wine vinegar, honey and a drizzle of olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Add the mixed salad leaves and tomato and toss to coat.

Serve up
6

Divide the creamy basil pesto and pork fusilli between bowls. Garnish with the grated Parmesan cheese and a pinch of chilli flakes (if using). Serve with the garden salad.
