Cooking Steps

1

• Boil the kettle. Half-fill a medium saucepan with boiling water. • Cook penne in boiling water over high-heat until ‘al dente’, 12 minutes. • Reserve pasta water (1/3 cup for 2 people / 2/3 cup for 4 people). Drain penne, then return to saucepan.

2

• Meanwhile, thinly slice pear into wedges. Halve Bambino Brussels sprouts. • Roughly chop onion (see ingredients) and bacon.

3

• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over high heat. • Cook bacon, onion and sprouts, tossing occasionally, until tender, 6-8 minutes.

4

• Reduce heat to medium-low and stir in light cooking cream, chicken stock pot and the reserved pasta water and simmer until slightly thickened, 1-2 minutes. • Remove pan from heat and add cooked penne and basil pesto, tossing to coat.

5

• In a medium bowl, combine rocket, pear, a drizzle of balsamic vinegar and olive oil. Season to taste.

6

• Divide creamy pesto bacon pasta between bowls. Top with pear rocket salad. • Sprinkle over Parmesan cheese and a pinch of chilli flakes (if using).
