Linguine With Bacon

Linguine With Bacon

in creamy blue cheese sauce

Slightly salty bacon does a wonderful job of cutting through the creaminess of the blue cheese sauce that coats the mushrooms and linguine in this al dente pasta dish.

Cooking Steps

Boil the Pasta
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.

Toast the Hazelnuts
2

Bash or roughly chop the hazelnuts.

Place a large pan over medium heat (no oil). Once hot, dry-fry the hazelnuts until toasted, stirring regularly, 2-3 mins. Remove from the pan and set aside. TIP: Watch them closely—they can burn easily. Reserve the pan to use later.

Get Prepped
3

Roughly chop the mushrooms.

Chop the bacon rashers widthways into 1cm wide strips. IMPORTANT: Wash hands and equipment after handling raw meat. TIP: Use scissors to cut the bacon if you prefer.

 

Start Frying
4

Return the pan to high heat. When hot, add the mushrooms and bacon to the pan. Season with salt and pepper and fry until browned, 6-8 mins, stirring occasionally. Season with salt and pepper. Add the drained linguine and crumble the blue cheese and stir well, until cheese is melted for 2-3 mins.

IMPORTANT: Cook bacon thoroughly.

Sauce it Up
5

Remove from the heat add the cream fraiche. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
