Method

  1. Step 1

    Cook the pasta in a large saucepan of boiling water following packet directions or until al dente. Drain, reserving 1/2 cup (125ml) cooking liquid.

  2. Step 2

    Meanwhile, heat 2 tsp oil in a large frying pan over high heat. Add half the lamb and cook, stirring, for 3 mins or until browned. Transfer to a heatproof bowl and cover to keep warm. Repeat with another 2 tsp of oil and the remaining lamb.

  3. Step 3

    Return lamb to the pan with the pasta, garlic, lemon rind, lemon juice, tomato, shredded basil, parsley and reserved cooking liquid. Cook, stirring, for 3 mins or until heated through. Stir in the rocket, basil sprigs and remaining oil. Divide among serving bowls. Sprinkle with parmesan to serve.

Recipe tip

COOK. STORE. SAVE.
Waste wise: Blitz up leftover basil, parsley and rocket with oil, green chilli and lemon juice to make a zingy sauce for salads, sandwiches and barbecue meats.
