Cooking Steps

• Boil the kettle. In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over high heat. Cook cherry tomatoes, stirring occasionally, until blistered, 4-5 minutes. Transfer to a small bowl. • Pour the boiling water into a large saucepan over high heat. Add a pinch of salt, then bring to the boil. Cook fettuccine in the boiling water until ‘al dente’, 9 minutes. • Reserve some pasta water (2 tbs for 2 people / 1/4 cup for 4 people), then drain pasta and return to saucepan. Drizzle with olive oil to prevent sticking.

• While pasta is cooking, grate zucchini. Thinly slice apple into wedges. • In a large bowl, combine a drizzle of olive oil and white wine vinegar. Season with salt and pepper. Add apple, flaked almonds and mixed leaves. Set aside.

TIP: Toss the salad just before serving to keep the leaves crisp.

• Return pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook diced bacon and zucchini, breaking up with a spoon, until golden, 4-6 minute. Add garlic paste and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. Add light cooking cream and vegetable stock pot and cook until slightly thickened, 2-3 minutes. • Stir in basil pesto, a pinch of chilli flakes (if using), fettuccine and reserved pasta water until heated through. Remove from heat. Stir in tomatoes.

• Season pasta to taste. Toss salad to coat. • Divide bacon, pesto and cherry tomato pasta between bowls. Sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese. • Serve with apple and almond salad.
