By Abigail Donnelly

Serves 4 to 6

Difficulty Easy

Prep Time 20 minutes

Cooking Time 10 minutes

Ingredients

2 T olive oil
4 leeks, finely chopped
250 g diced bacon
230 g Tenderstem broccoli, finely chopped
2 x 115 g Woolworths smoke- flavoured mussels in canola oil cans, drained
400 g orecchiette pasta, cooked al dente
sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Parmesan, for serving

Method

1. Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over a medium heat. Add the leeks and sauté until soft. Add the bacon and fry until slightly crispy, then add the broccoli and fry until tender.

3. Toss the sauce with the pasta, season and serve with Parmesan.

Cook's note: If you’re feeling flush, add some cream to the sauce to make it more luxurious.
