Ingredients
  • 100g crème frâiche
  • ½ lemon (juice and zest)
  • 1 garlic clove (minced)
  • 10g (2 TBSP) chopped fresh parsley
  • 10g (2 TBSP) chopped fresh basil
  • fine Himalayan pink salt (U.S. option HERE)
  • ground black pepper
  • 25g (2 TBSP) extra virgin olive oil (U.S. option HERE)
  • 40g Parmigiano Reggiano (freshly grated)
  • 250g chestnut mushrooms (cleaned and sliced)
  • 25g butter
  • 200g qk linguine pasta #1
  • 4-5 TBSP water
Instructions
  1. using a food processor (I use THIS - U.S. option HERE), blitz chopped fresh herbs, olive oil, half of the Parmigiano (20g), creme fraiche, garlic, lemon juice and zest, until you get a smooth paste consistency, then season with salt and pepper according to your taste.
  2. place butter and sliced mushrooms in a frying pan and season lightly with salt and black pepper.
  3. sauté mushrooms (no lid) for a few minutes, until all water has evaporated.
  4. add herb sauce and 4 TBSP water to the pan, bring to a simmer, then incorporate the linguine.
  5. continue to simmer for 1-2 minutes while stirring frequently, and add a little extra water to loosen the sauce if required.
  6. when nice and hot, serve immediately, sprinkled with the remaining Parmigiano.
Notes
In case you cannot get crème frâiche, try 50g double/heavy cream + 50g soured cream.

The best way to ensure accurate measurement of ingredients is with Metric Kitchen Scales. They are inexpensive and take up very little space. Click HERE for the ones I use. For U.S. option click HERE.
