Method

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

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

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

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

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

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

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