Instructions

Cook the Pasta

1

a) Boil a full kettle. Cut the Tenderstem® broccoli into thirds.

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

c) Add the rigatoni and bring back to the boil. Cook until tender, 12 mins. Add the broccoli to the same pan halfway through cooking.

d) Once cooked, drain in a colander and pop back in the pan. Drizzle with oil and stir through to stop it sticking together.

Fry the Prawns and Bacon

2

a) While the pasta cooks, peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press). Drain the prawns.

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

c) Once hot, add the prawns and bacon lardons. Stir-fry until golden, 5-6 mins. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw meat and prawns. Cook lardons thoroughly. Cook so the prawns are opaque in the middle.

Add the Garlic

3

a) Once the bacon is cooked, drain any excess fat from the pan and pop back on the heat.

b) Add the garlic to the bacon and fry for 30 secs.

Bring on the Sauce

4

a) Stir the veg stock paste, creme fraiche and water for the sauce (see pantry for amount) into the pan. Cook until piping hot, 2-3 mins.

b) Add the cooked pasta and broccoli to the sauce and stir to combine, then remove from the heat.

Peas Please

5

a) Stir the peas, pesto and two thirds of the hard Italian style cheese into your creamy pasta.

b) Toss to coat.

Serve

6

a) Share your creamy prawn and bacon pesto pasta between your bowls.

b) Sprinkle over the remaining cheese to finish.

Enjoy!
