1

• Cut mild chorizo into 1cm chunks.
• In a large saucepan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add chorizo and cook until browned, 4-5 minutes. Transfer to a plate. • Boil kettle. •  Return large saucepan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Add diced bacon and cook, breaking up with a spoon, until golden, 6-7 minutes. • Meanwhile, roughly chop courgette. Thinly slice leek. Slice lemon into wedges.

Start the sauce
2

• Add courgette and leek, and cook until tender, 4-5 minutes. • Add Tuscan herb seasoning and cook until fragrant, 1 minute.

Add the pasta
3

• Reduce heat to medium, then add cream, chicken-style stock powder, penne and the boiling water (21/2 cups for 2 people / 5 cups for 4 people). Simmer, stirring occasionally until penne is cooked through, 9 -12 minutes.
• Remove pan from heat, add baby leaves and a squeeze of lemon juice. Stir to combine and season with salt and pepper to taste.
TIP: Add a splash more water if the sauce looks too thick.
