Ingredients

  • 1 avocado roughly chopped
  • 100 g frozen peas
  • 100 g hummus
  • 20 g fresh basil torn
  • 20 g fresh mint leaves removed
  • 100 ml Coconut milk
  • 1 Lemon zest & the juice
  • 200 g farfalle
  • 1 Chicken breast
  • 200 g Bacon lardons
  • 140 g tinned sweetcorn drained Parmesan, grated

Instructions

  • Put the hummus, avocado, coconut milk, peas, mint, basil, and the zest and juice of the lemon into a blender and blitz until completely smooth and bright green.
  • Cook the pasta in salted boiling water for 2 minutes less than the packet states.
  • Meanwhile, cut the chicken into bite sized pieces. Heat some cooking oil in a large frying pan over a medium to high heat.
  • Add the chicken and bacon into the pan and cook until the chicken is cooked through, and the bacon is crispy.
  • Pour in a ladle of pasta water and turn down the heat.
  • Drain the pasta once cooked, but reserve some of the pasta water. Add the drained pasta into a pan and pour in the Super Green sauce along with a little pasta water.
  • Add the sweetcorn and toss together over a medium heat to warm through. Don’t heat too much, though – think of it as a saucy pesto. Season to taste.
  • Dish it up and serve with a little grated parmesan.
