Cooking Steps
• Boil the kettle. • Thinly slice leek. • Half-fill a medium saucepan with boiling water and a generous pinch of salt. • Bring to the boil and cook fresh fettuccine, over high heat, until al dente, 3 minutes. Reserve some pasta water (1/4 cup for 2 people / 1/2 cup for 4 people). Drain.
• Meanwhile, heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat. • Toast almonds, tossing, until golden, 2-3 minutes. Transfer to a bowl. • Return frying pan to high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. When oil is hot, cook diced bacon, chicken and leek, tossing occasionally, until browned and cooked through, 5-6 minutes. • Add baby leaves, and cook until wilted, 1 minute.
TIP: Chicken is cooked through when it's no longer pink inside.
• Reduce frying pan heat to medium heat. Cook cream (see ingredients), garlic paste, grated Parmesan cheese, chicken-style stock powder and a splash of pasta water, until slightly thickened, 2-3 minutes. • Add cooked fettuccine and plant-based basil pesto to pan and toss to coat. Season with pepper.
• Divide creamy pesto chicken and bacon fettuccine between bowls. • Garnish with toasted almonds and a pinch of chilli flakes (if using) to serve. Enjoy!
