Instructions
Cut the champignon first in 2 halves and slice thinly. Set aside.
8 small mushrooms
Cook the pasta.
500 grams Linguine
Remember to put salt into the water.
Have the basil, parsley, nuts, cheese, broth powder, garlic and olive oil in a blender, and blend to a relatively smooth mix.
1 handful basil,
1 handful parsley,
1 tablespoon cashews,
1 tablespoon gruyere cheese,
1 teaspoon beef stock (beef broth or beef bouillon),
1 dollop olive oil,
1 clove garlic
Add the cream to the mixture and combine again for about 5 seconds.
1 dollop heavy cream (also called thickened cream)
Set aside.
Heat a large pan and lightly brown the champignons.
When they are ready, remove them from the pan into a medium-large separate bowl.
Have the beef in the hot pan. Let them cook until browned.
450 grams ground beef (minced beef)
Remove the beef from the pan, then add to the bowl with the mushrooms.
Sprinkle salt and black pepper over the meat and mushrooms and mix it all together.
1 pinch ground black pepper,
1 pinch salt
Turn down the heat on the pan.
Pour in the green sauce and let it warm up a little.
When the pasta is al dente and steaming hot, add it to the sauce and mix everything well together.
Top with the mushroom and beef and serve immediately.
Serve with a green salad and grated cheese.
