Cooking Steps

Cook the spaghetti
1

• Boil the kettle. • Half-fill a large saucepan with boiling water and a generous pinch of salt over high heat. • Cook spaghetti in boiling water until ‘al dente’, 10 minutes. • Reserve pasta water (1/2 cup for 2 people / 1 cup for 4 people). Drain spaghetti, then return to saucepan.

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

Get prepped & start the pasta
2

• Meanwhile, thinly slice leek. Grate courgette. • Heat a large frying pan over high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. • Cook leek, stirring, until just softened, 2-3 minutes. Add courgette and cook until tender, 2 minutes. • Add garlic & herb seasoning and cook until fragrant, 1 minute.

Finish the pasta
3

• Reduce heat to medium, then stir in cream (see ingredients) and vegetable stock powder and simmer, until slightly reduced, 1-2 minutes. • Add cooked spaghetti, reserved pasta water and baby leaves, tossing, until combined and slightly wilted, 1 minute. • Remove from heat, then stir through plant-based basil pesto, until coated. Season to taste.

Serve up
4

• Divide creamy pesto and leek spaghetti between bowls. • Sprinkle over grated Parmesan cheese and tear over parsley to serve. Enjoy!
