Cooking Steps

• Bring a medium saucepan of salted water to the boil. • Thinly slice apple.

• Cook penne in boiling water until 'al dente', 11 minutes. • Drain penne, then return to the saucepan with a drizzle of olive oil to prevent sticking.

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

Little cooks: Older kids can help add the pasta to the saucepan under adult supervision. Be careful, the water is boiling!

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

• Return the frying pan to medium heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook cream (see ingredients) and garlic & herb seasoning. • Return pork to the pan, then stir to combine and cook until slightly reduced, 2-3 minutes. Season. • Remove from heat, then add the butter, salad leaves, basil pesto and cooked penne. Stir until butter is melted, leaves are wilted and pasta is well combined.

• In a medium bowl, combine the white wine vinegar, honey and a drizzle of olive oil. Season, then add mixed leaves and apple. Toss to combine.

Little cooks: Take the lead by combining the ingredients for the dressing!

• Divide creamy pork and basil pesto penne between bowls. • Garnish with grated Parmesan cheese and a pinch of chilli flakes (if using). • Serve with apple salad. Enjoy!

Little cooks: Kids can add the finishing touch by sprinkling the cheese on top.
