Cooking Steps
ā¢ Half-fill a large saucepan with water, add a generous pinch of salt, then bring to the boil over high heat. ā¢ Cook penne in boiling water until āal denteā, 12 minutes. ā¢ Reserve pasta water (1/3 cup for 2 people / 2/3 cups for 4 people). Drain penne, then return to saucepan.
ā¢ When pasta has 5 minutes remaining, roughly chop semi-dried tomatoes. Slice lemon into wedges. ā¢ In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. ā¢ Cook trimmed green beans until just tender, 4-5 minutes.
ā¢ Reduce heat to medium, then stir in semi-dried tomatoes, thickened cream, tomato & herb seasoning, vegetable stock pot and reserved pasta water and simmer, until slightly reduced 1-2 minutes. ā¢ Add cooked penne, a squeeze of lemon juice, tossing until combined, 1 minute. ā¢ Season generously with salt and pepper.
ā¢ In a medium bowl, combine spinach & rocket mix, a drizzle of balsamic vinegar and olive oil. Season to taste. ā¢ Divide creamy semi-dried tomato penne between bowls. Crumble over marinated goat cheese. Spoon over some oil from goat cheese. ā¢ Serve with dressed leaves. Top with pine nuts. Tear over parsley leaves. Enjoy!

Review summary
Updated on July 2026- Flavour:Ā The creamy semi-dried tomato sauce was a highlight for many, though some found the overall dish mild and suggested adding extra tomatoes or a splash of balsamic to boost the flavour.
- Ease of prep:Ā Most found this a genuinely quick and easy weeknight meal, well suited to busy schedules.
- Suggestions:Ā Adding prawns or extra vegetables worked well for those wanting more substance, and one reviewer noted that stirring balsamic vinegar through the pasta itself lifted the flavour nicely.
- Portions:Ā A few reviewers felt the portions were on the smaller side, and some suggested the dish leaned carb-heavy with room for more vegetables.
- Goat cheese:Ā The marinated goat cheese was widely praised as a standout addition, though it may not suit those who are not fans of the flavour.
