Orecchiette, the ‘little ears’ of pasta, are perfectly shaped to scoop up sauces and capture flavour. That’s why they’re a perfect match for this creamy pesto number, with crispy bacon and tender green beans tossed through.

Preparation
1
Boil the orecchiette

• Half-fill a large saucepan with water, add a generous pinch of salt, then bring to the boil over high heat. • Cook orecchiette in boiling water until ‘al dente’, 8 minutes. • Reserve pasta water (1/4 cup for 2 people / 1/2 cup for 4 people). Drain orecchiette, then return to saucepan.

2
Get prepped & cook the bacon

• Meanwhile, trim and halve green beans. • In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. • Add diced bacon and green beans, and cook, breaking up with a spoon, until golden, 6-7 minutes (cook in batches if your pan is getting crowded).

3
Bring it all together

• Reduce heat to medium, add longlife cream (see ingredients), baby spinach leaves, the reserved pasta water and the salt, and simmer, until slightly reduced, 1-2 minutes. • Remove pan from heat, add the orecchiette and plant-based basil pesto, and stir to combine.

4
Finish & serve

• Divide creamy bacon and basil pesto orecchiette between bowls. Enjoy! • If you've added a fancify bundle, slice lemon into wedges. Squeeze over lemon juice. Sprinkle over grated parmesan cheese and tear over parsley. Serve with remaining lemon wedges.
