Method
- Cook the pasta according to the packet instructions until al dente (save some of the cooking water).
- Meanwhile, set a sauté pan over a medium-high heat and add the olive oil. Chop the gammon into cubes or lardons, then fry for a few minutes until beginning to brown. Add the onion and fry for 5-8 minutes until soft and translucent, then stir through the garlic and cook for 30 seconds more. Add the chopped chestnuts and fry for 5 minutes. Stir through the crème fraîche and a ladleful of the pasta cooking water, then taste and season.
- Add the drained pasta to the sauce along with the chopped parsley. Toss well to coat, divide between pasta bowls, drizzle with olive oil, then serve.
