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. 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, halve, peel and thinly slice the onion.
- Halve the tomatoes.
- Pick and roughly tear the basil leaves.
- Chop the bacon widthways into 1cm strips. IMPORTANT: Wash hands and equipment after handling raw meat.
TIP: Use scissors to cut the bacon if you prefer.
3
- Place a medium pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil.
- Once hot, add the bacon and onion and fry until crispy, 3-4 mins. IMPORTANT: Cook bacon thoroughly.
- Season with salt and pepper.
4
- Add the cherry tomatoes, chopped tomatoes, Worcester sauce and ½ tsp sugar (double for 4p) to the pan.
- Stir everything together and simmer until slightly reduced, 5-6 mins.
- Season to taste with salt and pepper.
TIP: Loosen the sauce with a splash of water if necessary.
5
- After the sauce has simmered, add the creme fraiche and half the torn basil leaves.
- Stir to combine and allow to warm through.
- Carefully toss the linguine through the sauce.
6
- Divide the creamy bacon pasta between bowls.
- Garnish with the cheese and remaining basil.
