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, 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.

2

Meanwhile, trim the root and the dark green leafy part from the leek. Halve lengthways, then thinly slice.
Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).

3

Place a pan over medium-high heat (no oil). 
Once the pan is hot, fry the beef mince with the leek, garlic and half the italian herbs (per 2P) until browned, 5-6 mins. Use a spoon to break it up as it cooks. Season with salt and pepper. IMPORTANT: Wash hands and equipment after handling raw mince. Mince is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.

4

Pop in the pesto, stock and creme creme fraiche and allow to simmer for 2-3 mins. 

5

Stir through the pasta into the sauce. Add a splash of water, if required to loosen the sauce. Season to taste with salt and pepper. 

6

Divide the beef and pesto linguine between bowls. Scatter over the Italian hard cheese.
