Cooking Steps

Cook the orecchiette
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 (1/4 cup for 2 people / 1/2 cup for 4 people). Drain penne, then return to saucepan. 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.

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 it 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 add cream (see ingredients), chicken-style stock powder, basil pesto, cooked penne, a generous squeeze of lemon juice and reserved pasta water. Stir to combine and cook until sauce has slightly thickened, 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat and stir through baby leaves until combined. Season to taste.

Serve up
4

• Divide creamy beef & pork and basil pesto penne between bowls. Garnish with grated Parmesan cheese and tear over parsley to serve. Enjoy!
