Cooking Instructions and Tips

a) Fill and boil your kettle. b) Fill a large saucepan with the boiling water and put on high heat. Bring back to the boil. c) Add 1/2 tsp of salt and the linguine. Cook for 12 mins. d) Once cooked, drain in a colander. Save some of the water to use in your sauce!

a) In the meantime, heat a drizzle of oil in a large frying pan over high heat. b) Once hot, add the sliced mushrooms and bacon lardons. c) Cook, stirring occasionally, until golden all over, 4-5 mins.

a) Meanwhile, peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press). b) Chop the bottom 2cm off the asparagus and discard. Cut the asparagus widthways into 3cm long pieces.

a) Once the mushrooms and bacon are golden, stir in the garlic for 30 seconds. b) When the pasta has 3 mins left, add the asparagus to the water.

a) Once the asparagus and pasta is drained, stir the saved pasta water (see ingredients for amount), the crème fraiche and stock powder into the mushrooms. b) Stir to dissolve the stock powder, then remove from the heat. c) Stir the drained pasta and asparagus, hard Italian cheese and truffle powder into the sauce and gently toss to coat. TIP: Add another splash of pasta water if the sauce is still a bit thick!
