Potato Linguini & Pesto

Serves: 5

3 Yukon gold potatoes (large)
5 Tbsp. Olive oil
3 Garlic cloves (finely chopped)
1  Lb. Linguini noodles (dried)
2 Tbsp.  Mascarpone cheese
6 fl. oz. Vegetable stock
Salt & Pepper

Directions:

Peel the potatoes and slice them into thin disks, then cut the disks in thin slices. Turn the slices and cut them into cubes. Place the potato cubes in a bowl half-filled with water to help wash away the starch. Heat the olive oil in a frying pan and add the drained and dried potato cubes. Stir continuously until golden brown and crispy. Add the finely chopped garlic to the potatoes, then pour the potatoes into a sieve. Place over a bowl to catch any juices. Bring a large pan of salted water to a boil. Add the linguine and cook for 7 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally. While the pasta cooks, add the potatoes and garlic to the pesto. Drain the cooked pasta and return to the saucepan.  Add the pesto and potato mixture and stir gently.  Add the mascarpone and the vegetable stock and mix together well over gentle heat. Season and serve.
