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
Start the Salad

  • Meanwhile, cut the tomato into wedges.
  • In a bowl for the salad, mix together the balsamic glaze, 1 tbsp oil and ¼ tsp salt (double both for 4p).
  • Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Toss the tomato in the dressing and leave aside to marinate.
  • Just before serving, toss the salad leaves together with the tomatoes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

3
Assemble the Sauce

  • In a small bowl, mix together the creme fraiche, mustard (if you're cooking for kids, you can use less mustard to reduce the heat).
  • Stir in the cheesemuscat and 2 tsp cracked black pepper (double for 4p).

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

4
Toast the Pine Nuts

  • Place a large pan over medium heat (no oil). 
  • Once hot, add the pine nuts 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.

5
Coat the Linguine

  • Return the pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil.
  • When hot, cook the peas until warmed, 2-3 mins.
  • Pour the creme fraiche mixture, allowing it to warm through, 1 min (loosen with some reserved pasta water if you feel it's too thick).
  • Add the drained linguine and toss to coat in the sauce.
  • Season to taste with salt and pepper.

6
Finish and Serve

  • Divide the cacio e pepe between plates.
  • Garnish with a scattering of toasted pine nuts.
  • Serve with the marinated tomato salad on the side.
