Creamy Leek Fusilli

with Basil Pesto & Parmesan Cheese

Difficulty: 1/3
Italian

You can add just about anything to a pasta, an entire veggie garden can be chopped up and tossed through a rich sauce. Sometimes, simple really is best though. Leek, baby broccoli and a little spinach in a cream and pesto sauce is all this dish needs to leave you feeling full and oh-so happy. *The recent wet and cold weather across New Zealand has impacted our regular supply of fresh ingredients and as such, what you receive may be slightly different to what’s pictured. Don’t worry, your recipe will be just as delicious!*

Preparation

• Half-fill a large saucepan with water, then add a generous pinch of salt. Bring to the boil over high heat. • Cook fusilli in boiling water until ‘al dente’, 12 minutes. Reserve some pasta water (1/2 cup for 2 people / 1 cup for 4 people), then drain and return fusilli to the pan. Little cooks: Older kids can help add the pasta to the saucepan under adult supervision. Be careful, the water is boiling!

• Meanwhile, trim baby broccoli and halve lengthways. Thinly slice leek. Finely chop garlic. • Heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook leek and baby broccoli, stirring, until softened, 4-5 minutes. • Add garlic and herb & mushroom seasoning and cook until fragrant, 1-2 minutes.

• Reduce heat to medium, then add cream (see ingredients), vegetable stock powder and some of the reserved pasta water (1/4 cup for 2 people / 1/2 cup for 4 people) and simmer until slightly thickened, 1-2 minutes. • Add basil pesto, cooked fusilli and baby spinach leaves. Stir to combine and season with salt and pepper. TIP: Add a splash more reserved pasta water if the sauce looks too thick.

• Divide creamy leek fusilli between bowls. • Sprinkle over grated Parmesan cheese to serve. Enjoy! Little cooks: Add the finishing touch by sprinkling the cheese on top.
