Cooking Instructions and Tips

Cook the Pasta
1

a) Boil a full kettle.

b) Pour the boiled water into a large saucepan with 1/2 tsp salt and bring back to the boil.

c) Add the linguine and cook until tender, 10-12 mins.

Garlic Time
2

a) While the pasta cooks, peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).

Fry the Bacon
3

a) Heat a drizzle of oil in a large frying pan on medium-high heat.

b) Once hot, add the bacon lardons and stir-fry until golden, 4-5 mins. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw meat. Cook bacon thoroughly.

c) Stir in the garlic and cook for 1 min more.

Make your Creamy Sauce
4
