Instructions

Get Prepped
1
  • Boil a large pot of salted water for the linguine.
  • Halve and peel the onion. Thinly slice half (double for 4p).
  • Roughly chop the mushrooms.
  • Halve and deseed the pepper. Chop into 1cm chunks. 
  • Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).

TIP: If you’re in a hurry you can boil the water in your kettle.

Cook the Pasta
2
  • When the water is boiling, add the linguine and bring back to the boil.
  • Cook until softened, 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.
Fry the Bacon
3
  • Meanwhile, place a pan over medium heat (without oil).
  • Once hot, dry-fry the pine nuts until lightly toasted, 2-3 mins. Remove from the pan and set aside.
  • Return the pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil.
  • Once the oil is hot, add the bacon lardons.
  • Fry until golden, stirring occasionally, 4-5 mins. IMPORTANT: Wash hands and equipment after handling raw meat. Cook lardons thoroughly.
Add the Veg
4
  • Lower the heat to medium then add the onion, mushrooms and pepper to the pan. 
  • Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and starting to brown, 4-5 mins.
  • With 1 min of cooking time left, add the garlic and cook until fragrant, stirring frequently.
Simmer the Sauce
5
  • Add 50ml water (double for 4p), stock and half the Italian herbs (double for 4p) to the pan.
  • Bring to the boil then lower the heat.
  • Simmer until slightly reduced, 3-4 mins.
  • Stir the creme fraiche through the sauce.

TIP: Add a splash of water if you feel the sauce is too dry.

Finish and Serve
6
  • Add the drained linguine to the sauce and toss everything together.
  • Season to taste with salt and plenty of pepper.
  • Serve in bowls and finish with a sprinkling of cheese and a scattering of pine nuts.
