Cooking Steps
• Boil the kettle.
• Cut zucchini into bite-sized chunks.
• Cut chicken tenderloins into 2cm chunks.
• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over high heat. Cook diced bacon,
breaking up with a spoon, until slightly browned, 1-2 minutes.
• Add chicken and zucchini and cook, tossing occasionally, until chicken is cooked
through, 5-6 minutes.
TIP: Chicken is cooked through when it’s no longer pink inside.
• Meanwhile, half-fill a medium saucepan with the boiling water, then bring to the
boil over high heat.
• Cook egg fettuccine in boiling water, until ‘al dente’, 3 minutes.
• Reserve some pasta water (see ingredients), drain and return pasta to saucepan.
TIP: ‘Al dente’ pasta is cooked through but still slightly firm in the centre.
• To the frying pan with chicken, add garlic paste and cook, stirring until fragrant,
1 minute.
• Stir in light cooking cream, stock concentrate and the reserved pasta water
and cook until slightly thickened, 2-3 minutes.
• Add cooked pasta, baby spinach leaves and basil pesto, tossing to combine.
Season with pepper.
• Divide chicken and bacon alfredo fettuccine between bowls.
• Top with Parmesan cheese to serve. Enjoy!
