Cooking Steps
• Boil the kettle. Half-fill a large saucepan with boiling water and add a
generous pinch of salt. Cook penne over high heat, until ‘al dente’,
12 minutes.
• Reserve some pasta water (see ingredients). Drain penne, then return to
saucepan.
TIP: ‘Al dente’ pasta is cooked through but still slightly firm in the centre.
Little cooks: Older kids can help add the pasta to the saucepan under adult
supervision. Be careful, the water is boiling!
• Meanwhile, slice lemon into wedges.
• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat.
• Cook beef & pork mince and sliced leek, until browned, 4-5 minutes.
Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Add garlic & herb seasoning and cook until fragrant, 1-2 minutes.
• Reduce heat to medium, then add cream (see ingredients), chicken-style
stock powder, plant-based basil pesto, cooked penne, a squeeze of lemon
juice and reserved pasta water. Cook until slightly thickened, 1-2 minutes.
Remove from heat, stir through baby spinach leaves and season to taste.
• Divide ‘pesto’ beef and pork penne between bowls.
• Garnish with grated Parmesan cheese and tear over parsley.
• Serve with any remaining lemon wedges. Enjoy!
Little cooks: Add the finishing touch by sprinkling over the cheese!
