Cooking Steps

Cook the pasta
1

• Boil the kettle. Half-fill a large saucepan with boiling water and add a generous pinch of salt.
• Cook fresh fettuccine over high heat, stirring occasionally, until ‘al dente’, 3 minutes.
• Reserve some pasta water (see ingredients). Drain fettuccine, then return to saucepan with a drizzle of olive oil. 

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

Start the sauce
2

• Meanwhile, trim baby broccoli and halve any thicker stalks lengthways. 
• Heat a large frying pan over high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. When oil is hot, cook diced bacon, diced chicken, broccoli and sliced leek, tossing occasionally, until browned and cooked through, 5-6 minutes. 

TIP: Chicken is cooked through when it’s no longer pink inside.  

Bring it all together
3

• Reduce heat to medium, then add cream (see ingredients), garlic paste, grated Parmesan cheese, chicken-style stock powder and a splash of reserved pasta water. Cook, stirring, until slightly thickened, 2-3 minutes.
• Add cooked fettuccine and plant-based basil pesto, tossing until well coated. Season to taste with pepper. 

Finish & serve
4

• Divide rich ‘pesto’ chicken and bacon fettuccine between bowls.
• Sprinkle with a pinch of chilli flakes (if using) to serve. Enjoy!
