It’s pesto and pork in a creamy sauce. This already sounds like an amazing and tasty time but if you want to go the extra mile, add the leek and a zap of lemon to the pasta for flavour and smiles. We’ve replaced the penne in this recipe with fusilli due to local ingredient availability. It’ll be just as delicious, just follow your recipe card!

Cooking Steps
• Boil the kettle. Half-fill a large saucepan with boiling water, then add a generous pinch of salt.
• Add fusilli 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 fusilli, then return to saucepan.
TIP: “Al dente” pasta is cooked through but still slightly firm in the centre.
• Meanwhile, finely chop celery.
• Slice lemon into wedges.
• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook beef & pork mince and celery, breaking it up with a spoon, until just browned, 4-5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
• Add sliced leek and cook, stirring, until softened, 4-5 minutes.
• 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 fusilli, reserved pasta water and a generous squeeze of lemon juice. Stir to combine and cook until sauce has slightly thickened, 1-2 minutes. Season to taste.
• Divide creamy beef & pork and basil pesto penne between bowls. Sprinkle over grated Parmesan cheese to serve. Enjoy!
