Method
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.
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.
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.
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.
