Ingredients

  • 150g Duck Breast
  • 130g pasta
  • 80g green beans
  • 80g mushrooms
  • 25g pesto
  • 10g parmesan
  • 3g garlic
  • 20g rocket

Method

  1. 1

    Prep everything first: wash and trim the green beans and mushrooms, then measure out the sauce ingredients.

  2. 2

    Cook the wholewheat pasta in salted boiling water for 10-12 minutes until al dente; save a splash of pasta water.

  3. 3

    Pan-roast the duck breast for 4 minutes per side, then rest for 5 minutes and slice thinly.

  4. 4

    Stir the pesto through the hot carbs with a splash of cooking water so it turns glossy, then top with grated parmesan.

  5. 5

    Meanwhile, steam or stir-fry the green beans and mushrooms for 3-5 minutes until just tender with a little bite.

  6. 6

    Build the bowl: wholewheat pasta first, then the veg and duck breast, spooning over any remaining sauce. Finish with the rocket.
