1
Prep everything first: wash and trim the spinach and green beans, then measure out the sauce ingredients.

2
Cook the gluten-free pasta for 8-10 minutes, stirring often, and rinse briefly to stop it sticking.

3
Pan-roast the duck breast for 4 minutes per side, then rest for 5 minutes and slice thinly.

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

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