Cooking Steps

Cook the Linguine
1
  • 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.

Prep the Veg
2
  • Roughly chop the mushrooms. Trim and thinly slice the scallion.
  • Place a large pan over high heat (no oil).
  • Once hot, add mushrooms and cook until charred, shifting occasionally as they cook, 3-4 mins. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Reduce the heat to medium-high heat and add the bacon
  • Fry, stirring, until golden, 5-7 mins. IMPORTANT: Wash hands and equipment after handling raw meat. Cook lardons thoroughly.

NOTE: Adding chicken? Add to the pan along with the bacon and fry until cooked through, 8-10 mins.

Stir in the Sauce
3
  • Crumble the blue cheese into the pan along with the drained pasta.
  • Allow to warm through and remove from the heat.
  • Stir through the creme fraiche. Season to taste with salt and pepper

TIP: Loosen the sauce with a splash of water if necessary.
