Directions
Cook linguine according to pack instructions.
Heat oil in a frying pan and gently fry chilli and garlic for 1-2 minutes. Add peas and cook for 2-3 minutes until tender. Remove from the heat, add 40g cheese, mint and a pinch of salt and mash to a rough texture.
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, beat egg with yogurt and seasoning.
Drain linguine and return to pan but leave off the heat, then immediately stir through the egg mixture to make a silky sauce.
Divide linguine between two bowls and top with pea mixture.
Sprinkle with remaining cheese, black pepper and mint. Serve immediately.
