Instructions
1
- Boil a large pot of salted water for the linguine.
- When the water is boiling, add the linguine then 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.
TIP: If you’re in a hurry you can boil the water in your kettle.
2
- Meanwhile, clean and roughly chop the mushrooms.
- Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).
3
- Place a large pan over medium-high heat (no oil).
- Once hot, fry the chorizo until it starts to brown, 3-4 mins.
- Add the mushrooms and garlic to the pan (with a drizzle of oil if needed). Season with salt and pepper. Fry until browned, 6-8 mins.
- Stir in the pesto and creme fraiche. Loosen with a splash of water if you feel it's too thick.
- Add the pasta and stir well to coat and cook for 1-2 mins. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
4
