Cooking Steps

Cook the penne
1

• Boil the kettle. Half-fill a large saucepan with boiling water, then add a 
generous pinch of salt.
• Add penne to the boiling water and cook, over high heat, until ‘al dente’,  
12 minutes.
• Reserve pasta water (see ingredients). Drain penne, then return to 
saucepan. 


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

• Meanwhile, slice lemon into wedges.

Cook the sauce
3

• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook 
beef & pork mince and sliced leek, breaking up with a spoon, until just 
browned, 4-5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
• Add garlic & herb seasoning and cook until fragrant, 1-2 minutes.
• Reduce heat to medium, then stir in cream (see ingredients), chicken-style 
stock powder, plant-based basil pesto, cooked penne, a squeeze of lemon 
juice and the reserved pasta water. Cook until sauce thickens slightly,  
1-2 minutes. 
• Remove from heat and stir through baby spinach leaves. Season to taste.

Finish & serve
