Instructions

Fry the Bacon and Sausage Meat
1

a) Boil a full kettle.

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

c) Once hot, add the bacon, sausage meat and mushrooms. Fry until browned, 5-6 mins. Use a spoon to break the sausage meat up as it cooks. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw meat. Cook bacon thoroughly.

Linguine Time
2

a) Pour the boiled water from your kettle into a large saucepan with 0.5 tsp salt on high heat.

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

Sauce Things Up
3

a) When the sausage meat is browned, add the chopped tomatoes to the pan. Stir to combine.

b) Simmer until the sausage meat is cooked through, 5-6 mins. IMPORTANT: The sausage meat is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.

Drain the Pasta
4

a) Once the linguine is cooked, drain in a colander and pop back in the pan.

b) Drizzle with oil and stir through to stop it sticking together.

Add the Spinach
5

a) Once the sauce has thickened, add the spinach a handful at a time until wilted and piping hot, 1-2 mins. Add a splash of water if it's a little too thick.

b) Stir in the pesto. Add the cooked pasta to the sauce along with three quarters of the cheese and stir to combine.

c) Add a splash of water if it's a little too thick. Taste and add salt and pepper if needed.

Serve
6

a) Share the sausage linguine between your bowls.

b) Sprinkle over the remaining cheese to finish.

Enjoy!
