Method

Slice the pasta cake into 8 pieces and serve with the basil cream.

Blend the infused cream with the remaining oil, strain, and stir in the basil.

Fry the pasta mixture in 45ml of olive oil, pressing into a cake, for 4 minutes per side.

Bring to a simmer, then remove from heat and cover to infuse for 30 minutes.

Heat the double cream with ancho chillies, lemon zest, and the clove-studded onion in a pan.

Mix the sticky linguine with parmesan, garlic, and cracked pepper in a bowl.

Cook the linguine in salted water, drain, and let dry for 10 minutes until sticky.
