Preparation
1
Cook the Pasta

  • Boil a large pot of salted water for the pasta
  • When boiling, add the linguine to the water and bring back to the boil.
  • Cook until softened, 12 mins.
  • Once cooked, reserve a cup of the pasta water then drain the linguine in a colander.
  • 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
Get Prepped

  • Trim the courgette and quarter lengthways. Chop into 1cm chunks.
  • Cut the tomato into wedges.
  • In a bowl mix together the creme fraiche, muscat, cheese, half the mustard and 2 tsp cracked black pepper (double both for 4p).
  • In a large bowl, mix the balsamic glaze and 1 tbsp oil (double for 4p). Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Add the tomato to the dressing and leave to marinate.

TIP: Don't be shy with the pepper—this is the star of the dish!

3
Toast the Nuts

  • Place a large pan over medium heat (no oil). 
  • Once hot, add the hazelnuts and cook, stirring, until lightly toasted, 2-3 mins.
  • Remove from the pan and set aside. 

TIP: Watch them like a hawk—they can burn easily.

4
Char the Courgette

  • Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).
  • Return the pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil.
  • When hot, add the garlic and courgette and cook until charred, 6-8 mins. Stir only every few minutes—this will allow the courgette to pick up a nice colour. 
  • Season with salt and pepper.

5
Coat the Linguine

  • Remove the pan from the heat.
  • Add the drained linguine and creme fraiche mixture to the courgettes
  • Loosen the sauce with the reserved pasta water if necessary.
  • Season to taste with salt and pepper.

6
Finish and Serve

  • Toss the salad leaves with the marinated tomatoes.
  • Plate up a helping of cacio e pepe and serve the tomato salad alongside.
  • Scatter the toasted hazelnuts over the top of the salad.
