Before you start

Cook pork & veggies

  • Peel and mince 2 cloves garlic. Slice 1 leek in half lengthwise, wash to remove any dirt then thinly slice. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in the frypan over medium heat.

Make sauce

  • Crumble in 1 cube chicken stock and add 400 ml coconut cream to the pork mixture, season with salt and pepper and bring to a simmer. Cook, stirring regularly, for 3 minutes or until the sauce is slightly reduced. Grate in 1 lemon zest then slice it into wedges and set them aside.

Cook pasta

  • Add 400 g pappardelle pasta to the pot of boiling water and cook according to packet directions. Drain the pasta.

Cook greens

  • Meanwhile, slice 1 broccoli into small florets. Add the broccoli and 1 cup frozen green beans to the steamer pot of boiling water. Cook for 3-4 minutes or until tender and cooked to your liking.

To finish

  • Add the pasta and 1 cup baby spinach to the pork and sauce mixture, reduce the heat to medium-low and cook, stirring gently, for 1 minute or until the spinach is wilted. Grate over half of the ½ cup parmesan cheese and stir to combine, then remove from heat.

To serve
