Cooking Steps

Make the Pasta
1
  • Boil a large pot of salted water for the linguine
  • When boiling, add the linguine then 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.

Get Prepped

  • While the linguine cooks, halve, peel and chop the onion into small pieces. 
  • Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).
  • Halve the cherry tomatoes.
  • Place a large pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil
  • Once hot, fry the lardons until golden, 5-7 mins, stirring occasionally. IMPORTANT: Wash hands and equipment after handling raw meat. Cook lardons thoroughly.
Simmer the Sauce
3
  • Add the onion to the pan and season with salt and pepper. Fry until softened, stirring occasionally, 3-4 mins.
  • Add garlic, tomatoes, ½ tsp sugar (double for 4p) and another pinch of salt. Fry until tomatoes are softened, 6-7 mins. 
  • Add the passata, creme fraiche, stock and paprika.
  • Simmer until thickened, 4-5 mins. Season to taste with salt, pepper and sugar.
Finish and Serve
