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.

Unfortunately, this week's orecchiette was in short supply, so we've replaced it with penne. Don't worry, the recipe will be just as delicious, just be sure to follow your recipe card!

Utensils

•Medium Saucepan

•Large Frying Pan

Cooking Steps

• 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, thinly slice leek. Finely chop celery. Slice lemon into wedges.

• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook pork mince and celery, breaking it up with a spoon, until just browned, 4-5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. • Add 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, 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. Season to taste.
