Cooking Steps
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, 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.
2

- Season with 1 tsp salt and ½ tsp pepper.
- Blend until smooth. Loosen to your desired consistency by adding a tsp of water at a time.
- Season to taste with salt, pepper and a squeeze of lemon juice.
3
