Instructions

Get prepped
1

Bring a large saucepan of salted water to the boil. Thinly slice the brown onion. Chop the bacon into 1cm pieces. Peel the zucchini into ribbons using a vegetable peeler. Finely chop the garlic (or use a garlic press). Zest the lemon until you have a generous pinch, then slice into wedges.

Cook the pasta
2

Add the farfalle to the boiling water and cook until ‘al dente’, 9 minutes. Drain, reserving some pasta water (1/4 cup for 2 people / 1/2 cup for 4 people). Return the pasta to the saucepan.

TIP: 'Al dente' means the pasta is cooked through but still has a tiny bit of firmness in the middle.

Toast the almonds
3

While the pasta is cooking, heat a large frying pan over a medium-high heat. Add the flaked almonds and toast, stirring, until golden, 2-3 minutes. Transfer to a small bowl.

Cook the bacon and veg
4

Return the frying pan to a medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Add the bacon and cook until browned, 4-5 minutes. Add the onion and cook, stirring, until softened, 3-4 minutes. Add the zucchini, garlic, a pinch of chilli flakes (if using) and lemon zest and cook until softened and fragrant, 2 minutes.

Mix it all together
5

Add the baby spinach leaves and stir through until slightly wilted. Add the cooked farfalle and basil pesto and toss to combine. Add a splash of pasta water to help the sauce coat the pasta. Add a generous squeeze of lemon juice.

TIP: Seasoning is key in this dish, so taste and season with salt and pepper if you like!

Serve up
6

Divide the pesto and bacon farfalle between bowls. Crumble over the fetta and scatter over the flaked almonds to serve.
