Preparation

  1. Bring at least six cups of salted water to a boil for the linguine.
  2. While the water is heating, melt the butter over medium heat in a large nonstick skillet. Add the garlic and saute a minute or so, until it softens and barely takes on color. Stir in the tarragon and cream, bring to a boil and remove from the heat.
  3. When the water is boiling, stir in the linguine and cook for two to three minutes. Drain thoroughly.
  4. Then put the linguine in the skillet and reheat, stirring gently. Quickly fold in the goat cheese, season with salt and pepper and serve at once.
