Ingredients

  • 150g quorn pieces
  • 160g pasta
  • 80g green beans
  • 80g cherry tomatoes
  • 25g pesto
  • 10g parmesan
  • 3g garlic
  • 20g rocket

Method

  1. 1

    Prep everything first: wash and trim the green beans and cherry tomatoes, 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-fry the Quorn pieces from frozen for 10-12 minutes until golden.

  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 cherry tomatoes for 3-5 minutes until just tender with a little bite.

  6. 6

    Build the plate: wholewheat pasta first, then the veg and quorn, spooning over any remaining sauce. Finish with the rocket.
