Creamy Blue Cheese Bacon Linguine

Creamy Blue Cheese Bacon Linguine

with mushrooms

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.

  • Cook until softened, 10-12 mins.
  • Once cooked, drain in a colander and pop back in the pot, off the heat.

TIP: If you’re in a hurry you can boil the water in your kettle.

  • 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.
Stir in the Sauce
