Method

step 1
Pour boiling water over the broad bean, edamame and pea mix (200 g) to defrost. Drain and set aside. Preheat the oven to 200°C/180°C fan/gas mark 6.
step 2
Add the chicken mince (500 g), ricotta (250 g), lemon zest (2), nutmeg (1 pinch), chilli flakes (1 pinch) and salt (1 tsp) to a large mixing bowl. Mix and shape into 20 meatballs. Flatten each meatball into a puck.
step 3
Heat a large frying pan on medium-high heat with 1 tbsp olive oil. Add the meatballs (cook in batches if necessary) and cook for 6 minutes on each side, until golden brown. After 12 minutes, add the white wine, garlic and herb flavour pot (1) followed by 100ml of water and simmer together for 2-3 minutes, until the sauce has reduced. Keep the frying pan out.
step 4
Add the meatballs to a lined baking tray and keep warm in the oven until you are ready to eat.
step 5
Bring a large saucepan filled with hot water to the boil. Add the pasta (500 g) and cook for 3-4 minutes until al dente.
step 6
Reheat the frying pan with 1 tbsp olive oil and add the broad bean mixture and asparagus (180 g). Cook for 2-3 minutes, until just cooked through. Toss with the meatballs and pesto (1 pot). Use tongs to drain the tagliatelle into the pan and toss everything together to coat the pasta in the sauce. Mix through the parsley (15 g) and serve in bowls.
step 6 Reheat the frying pan with 1 tbsp olive oil and add the broad bean mixture and asparagus (180 g). Cook for 2-3 minutes, until just cooked through. Toss with the meatballs and pesto (1 pot). Use tongs to drain the tagliatelle into the pan and toss everything together to coat the pasta in the sauce. Mix through the parsley (15 g) and serve in bowls.
