A creamy indulgent linguini pasta dish inspired by festive ingredients - a surprising way to enjoy Brussels sprouts.
Ingredients
  • 180 g linguine
  • 20 g butter + a glug of extra-virgin olive oil
  • 150 g Brussels sprouts, tough base removed, and shredded
  • 2 heaped tbsp (approx 50 g) crème fraiche
  • 1 lemon, zest only
  • 1 tbsp chopped parsley
  • 60 g smoked salmon, torn into small strips
  • Sea salt, and liberal amounts of cracked black pepper
Instructions
  1. Put a salted pot of water onto boil for the pasta. When boiling add the pasta, it should take around 11 minutes.
  2. Meanwhile, add the butter to a wide deep frying pan, and a glug of oil to stop the butter from burning. Add the shredded sprouts, and a pinch of salt, and cook for 10 minutes (until the pasta is ready). If the tough bits of the inner sprout are still too crunchy after 7-8 minutes, add a few tablespoons of water into the pan, and add a lid to help trap in the steam. When softened add the crème fraiche, a ladleful of the pasta water, lemon zest, chopped parsley, a heap of black pepper and give a good stir to create your sauce. Finally, add the smoked salmon.
  3. Using tongs flip your cooked linguine into the sauce and give a good shuffle so that everything is tossed together. Plate up and serve, adding more black pepper if you like.
