Cooking Instructions
Instructions for 2 people (double for 4)
1
Boil a kettle
Cut the mushroom(s) into thick slices
Peel and slice the shallots finely
Heat a large, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick) with 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) olive oil and a knob of butter over a medium-high heat
2
Once hot, add the mushroom and shallots with a big pinch of salt (to draw out the moisture)
Cook for 4 min until starting to caramelise, stirring occasionally
Tip: Overcrowding your pan prevents caramelisation, so do this in one layer across two pans if needed
3
Meanwhile, add the linguine to a large pot of boiling water over a high heat with a big pinch of salt
Cook for 8 min or until tender with a slight bite
Tip: The pasta will finish cooking later on
Meanwhile, peel and finely chop (or grate) the garlic
4
Stir the garlic and balsamic into the pan of browned mushroom and shallots
Reduce the heat to medium and cook for a further 8 min or until the balsamic is sticky
5
Meanwhile, chop the tarragon finely, including the stalks
6
Break the goats' cheese up into small pieces
Drain the cooked linguine, reserving 200ml (300ml) pasta water and return it to the pot off the heat
7
Crumble 2/3 of the goats' cheese into the pasta and stir vigorously
Add the pasta water, a little at a time, until a creamy sauce forms
