Easy Beef & Courgette Pasta
with Cheddar Cheese & Balsamic-Apple Salad
You can add just about anything to a pasta, but sometimes simple and tasty is the way to go. We recommend cooking up a homey combination of beef cooked in a creamy sauce with hints of earthen flavours from the courgette. Sprinkle some Parmesan cheese and there you have it, a pasta that’s so simple you can cook it whenever you want!

Cooking Steps
• Boil the kettle. • Half-fill a large saucepan with boiling water, then add a generous pinch of salt. • Cook linguine, uncovered, over high heat until 'al dente', 9 minutes. Drain, then return pasta to the pan.
• Thinly slice courgette into half-moons. • In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over high heat. Cook beef mince and courgette, breaking up with a spoon, until just browned, 3-4 minutes.
• Reduce heat to medium-high, then add mushroom powder, cream (see ingredients) and a splash of water. Season with salt and pepper, then cook, stirring, until slightly reduced, 2-3 minutes. • Add cooked linguine and stir to combine. Remove from heat. • Meanwhile, thinly slice apple. In a medium bowl, combine salad leaves, apple and a drizzle of balsamic vinegar and olive oil. Season to taste.
• Divide creamy pork and carrot linguine between plates. Sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese. • Serve with balsamic-apple salad. Enjoy!
