Cooking Steps

Get Prepped
1
  • Boil a large pot of salted water for the linguine.
  • Halve, peel and chop the onion into small pieces.
  • Roughly chop the parsley (stalks and all).
  • 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.

Make the Pasta
2
  • When the water is boiling, add the linguine 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.
Cook the Bacon
3
  • Meanwhile, place a pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil.
  • Once the oil is hot, fry the bacon lardons until golden, 5-7 mins, stirring occasionally. IMPORTANT: Wash hands and equipment after handling raw meat. Cook lardons thoroughly.
  • Once cooked, remove the pan from the heat, transfer the bacon to a plate and cover to keep warm.
  •  
Simmer the Sauce
4
  • Return the (now empty) pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil.
  • Add the onion and season with salt and pepper. Fry until softened, stirring occasionally, 4-5 mins. 
  • Add the garlic and half a sachet of dried Italian herbs (per 2P). Cook until fragrant, 1 min.
  • Pour in the passata and 100ml water (per 2P).
  • Simmer until slightly reduced, 3-5 mins.

TIP: Add a splash of water if you feel the sauce needs loosening.

Coat the Linguine
5
  • Add half the parsley and half the creme fraiche to the pan.
  • Stir through the bacon and drained pasta and cook until coated and warmed through, 1-2 mins.
  • Season to taste with salt, pepper and sugar.
Finish and Serve
6
  • Divide your creamy bacon linguine between bowls.
  • Top with cheese, remaining parsley and a final dollop of creme fraiche.
  • Finish off with a sprinkling of chilli flakes—as much or as little as you like!
