with Leek & Plant-Based Pesto
It’s pesto, pork and beef in a creamy sauce. This already sounds like an amazing and tasty time but if you want to go the extra mile, add the leek and a zap of lemon to the pasta for flavour and smiles.

• Meanwhile, finely chop celery.
• Slice lemon into wedges.
• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook beef & pork mince and celery, breaking it up with a spoon, until just browned, 3-4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
• Add sliced leek and cook, stirring, until softened,
4-5 minutes.
• Add garlic & herb seasoning and cook until fragrant,
1-2 minutes.
• Reduce heat of the pan to medium, then add cream (see ingredients), chicken-style stock powder, plant-based basil pesto, cooked orecchiette, a generous squeeze of lemon juice and reserved pasta water. Stir to combine and cook until sauce has slightly thickened, 1-2 minutes. Season to taste.
