ONE-POT PASTA
Boil the kettle. Place a pot over medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the grated garlic and the NOMU rub until fragrant, 1 minute (shifting constantly). Add 300ml of boiling water, the stock, the cream, and seasoning. Mix until fully combined. Bring up to a boil and add the penne. Cook until the sauce has thickened and reduced into a creamy consistency, and the penne is cooked al dente, 12-15 minutes. Add more boiling water if it reduces too quickly.
MAKIN’ THE BACON
Place a pan over medium-high heat. When hot, add the bacon strips and fry until browned and crispy, 1-2 minutes per side. Remove from the pan and drain on paper towel. Roughly chop.
ALMOST THERE!
When the pasta is done, add the chopped bacon, ½ the grated cheese, and seasoning. Mix until fully combined. In a salad bowl, toss the rinsed Green Leaves with a drizzle of olive oil, ½ the Almonds, and seasoning.
