Cooking Steps
- Boil a large pot of salted water for the linguine.
- When boiling, add the linguine to the water and bring back to the boil.
- Cook until softened, 10-12 mins.
- Once cooked, drain in a colander and pop back in the pot, off the heat.
- Drizzle with oil and stir through to prevent sticking.
TIP: If you’re in a hurry you can boil the water in your kettle.
- Meanwhile, halve, peel and thinly slice the onion.
- Halve the tomatoes.
- Roughly chop the parsley (stalks and all).
- Place a pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil.
- Once hot, fry the bacon lardons and onion until crispy, 3-4 mins. IMPORTANT: Wash hands and equipment after handling raw meat. Cook lardons thoroughly.
- Season with salt and pepper.
NOTE: Adding chicken? Add to the hot pan, season with salt and pepper and fry for 5-6 mins before adding the bacon.
- Add the cherry tomatoes, chopped tomatoes, Worcester sauce, stock and ½ tsp sugar (per 2P) to the pan.
- Stir everything together and simmer until slightly reduced, 5-6 mins.
TIP: Loosen the sauce with a splash of water if necessary.
- After the sauce has simmered, add the creme fraiche and half the parsley.
- Stir to combine and allow to warm through.
- Carefully toss the linguine through the sauce until warmed and well coated, 1-2 mins.
- Divide the creamy bacon linguine between bowls.
- Garnish with the cheese and remaining parsley.
