Method
- Preheat the grill to high. Put the bacon on the grill tray and grill for 8-10 mins, turning halfway, until very crisp and deep golden. Leave to cool slightly.
- Meanwhile, cook the pasta to pack instructions, adding the green beans for the last 3 mins; drain.
- Mix the crème fraîche, garlic, lemon juice and some seasoning in a large bowl. Stir in the cooked pasta and green beans, the spinach, cucumber and spring onions; toss well to coat. Divide between plates or tip onto a platter. Crumble over the cooked bacon to serve.
