Pasta Time

a) Pour the boiled water from your kettle into a large saucepan on high heat with 1/2 tsp salt.

b) Add the macaroni to the water and bring back to the boil. Cook until tender, 12 mins.

4

a) Heat a drizzle of oil in a large frying pan on medium-high heat.

b) Once hot, fry the garlic for 30 secs.

Combine and Stir
5

a) Vigorously stir the creme fraiche, wholegrain mustard and cheese into the macaroni.

b) Add a splash of water if it's a little too thick. Taste and season with salt and pepper if needed.

c) Add the pea shoots to the tomato bowl and toss to combine.
