Star Anise & Scallion Spaghetti With Basil & Almond Parmesan

1. 1

   ["Take the largest, deepest saucepan you have and fill it with water. Bring to the boil (using the kettle speeds this process up) and add a pinch of salt and the spaghetti. Stir for the first 30 seconds to stop the pasta sticking and allow to cook for 10-12 minutes or until the pasta is al dente.

2. 2

   For the sauce combine the diced onion with the garlic and a large glug of olive oil, adding in the star anises (don't forget to remove these when serving or warn people, they're hard and inedible). Allow to cook on a medium to low heat for 3-5 minutes until the onions turn translucent. Next add your seasoning followed by the chopped scallions and double cream and simmer on a medium to low heat for 5 minutes while the pasta cooks.", "To make the basil and almond Parmesan muddle all three ingredients until well combined.

3. 3

   Once the pasta is cooked and you're happy with the seasoning of the sauce, add in the basil and almond Parmesan. Serve with a sprinkle of the lemon zest plus a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and extra fresh black pepper."]
