Instructions

GET PREPPED
1

Bring a large saucepan of salted water to the boil. Roughly chop the broccolini into 2 cm pieces. Finely slice the red onion. Finely grate the garlic. Slice the lemon into wedges and juice to get 1 tbs for 2 people / 2 tbs for 4 people.

COOK THE PASTA
2

Add the penne to the saucepan of boiling water and cook for 10 minutes, or until ‘al dente’. In the last 2 minutes of cook time add the broccolini and cook until tender. Drain and set aside in the colander.

TOAST THE ALMONDS
3

While the pasta is cooking, place a large frying pan over a medium-high heat. Add the slivered almonds and toast, stirring, for 3-4 minutes, until golden. Remove from the pan and set aside.

TOSS THE PASTA TOGETHER
4

Return the pan to a medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Add the onion and garlic and cook for 5 minutes, stirring regularly, or until the onion is softened. Add the cooked broccolini and penne, traditional pesto, lemon juice, salt (use suggested amount) and a good pinch of pepper. Crumble in 1/2 the fetta and toss the pasta together until well coated.

MAKE THE SIDE SALAD
5

In a medium bowl, combine the balsamic vinegar, honey and olive oil (1 tbs for 2 people / 2 tbs for 4 people). Add the mixed salad leaves and slivered almonds to the bowl and toss to coat in the dressing. Tip: Toss the salad just before serving to prevent soggy leaves.

SERVE UP
6

Divide the lemon basil pesto penne with broccolini and fetta between bowls. Crumble over the remaining fetta and serve the salad on the side.
