Florets of broccoli and crispy bacon may not be the first combo you think of when it comes to pasta, but you can trust us on this one! Mix it all into a moreish sour cream-based sauce for a flavour explosion that's even worthy of Nonna's picky palate.

Produced in a facility that processes eggs, milk, fish, peanuts, sesame, shellfish, soy, tree nuts and wheat.

1

• Half-fill a large saucepan with water, add a generous pinch of salt, then bring to the boil over high heat. • Cook penne in boiling water until ‘al dente’, 12 minutes. • Reserve some pasta water (1/4 cup for 2 people / 1/2 cup for 4 people). Drain penne, then return to saucepan.

2

• Meanwhile, finely chop garlic. • Cut broccoli into small florets and roughly chop the stalk. • Grate zucchini.

Little cooks: Under adult supervision, older kids can help grate the zucchini!

3

• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. • Cook diced bacon, breaking up with a spoon, until golden, 4-6 minutes.

4

• To the pan with the bacon, add the broccoli and zucchini and cook, tossing, until softened, 4-5 minutes. • Add the butter and stir to melt. Add the garlic and a pinch of chilli flakes (if using) and cook, tossing, until fragrant, 1 minute.

5

• Reduce heat to medium. Add light cooking cream and reserved pasta water. Stir to combine. • Add baby spinach leaves and stir through until wilted, 1-2 minutes. • Remove pan from heat, then add penne and 1/2 the Parmesan cheese, tossing to combine. • Season generously with salt and pepper.
