Instructions

Cook Pasta

1

Boil a full kettle. Pour it into a saucepan with 1/2 tsp salt on high heat.
Boil the spaghetti, 8 mins.
When the pasta has boiled for 5 mins, add the kale.
Once cooked, drain and pop back in the pan. Drizzle with oil and stir through to stop the pasta sticking together.

Bacon Time

2

Meanwhile, heat a drizzle of oil in a frying pan on medium-high heat.
Fry the bacon, 4-5 mins. IMPORTANT: Wash hands and utensils after handling raw meat. Cook bacon thoroughly.

Sauce Up

3

Next, drain any excess fat from the pan. Pop back on medium-high heat (no need to clean).
Stir in the veg stock paste, creme fraiche and water (see pantry). Simmer, 2-3 mins.
Stir the cooked pasta and kale into the sauce. Mix to combine.
Remove from the heat.

Dinner's Ready!

4

Stir the peas, pesto and two thirds of the hard Italian style cheese into the pasta. Toss to coat.
Share between your bowls.
Sprinkle over the remaining cheese to finish.

Enjoy!
