Ingredients

  • 200g Duck Breast
  • 270g gluten-free pasta
  • 80g spinach
  • 80g green beans
  • 25g pesto
  • 10g parmesan
  • 3g garlic
  • 15g pesto
  • 15g almonds
  • 20g rocket

Method

  1. 1

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

  2. 2

    Cook the gluten-free pasta for 8-10 minutes, stirring often, and rinse briefly to stop it sticking.

  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 spinach and green beans for 3-5 minutes until just tender with a little bite.

  6. 6

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

  7. 7

    Bulking upgrade: add the pesto, almonds for extra energy-dense calories.
