Instructions

1

Preheat your oven to 200°C. Bring a large saucepan of water to the boil with 0.5 tsp salt for the penne. Trim the green beans, then cut into thirds.

2

When boiling, add the penne to the water and bring back to the boil. Cook until tender, 12 mins. When the pasta has 5 mins left, add the green beans and cook until tender, 3-5 mins. Once cooked, drain in a colander and pop back in the pan.

3

When the oven is hot, pop the Serrano ham onto a baking tray and cook on the top shelf of your oven until crisp and golden, 5-7 mins.

4

Pop the pasta pan back onto medium-high heat. Stir in the creme fraiche, chicken stock paste and water for the pasta (see ingredients for amount). Simmer until piping hot, 1-2 mins.

5

Stir in the pesto and half the cheese until combined, remove from the heat. Add a splash of water if its too dry.

6

Share the creamy pesto pasta between your bowls. Top with shards of crispy serrano and the remaining cheese. Enjoy!
