Cooking Steps

Start duck
1
  • Before starting, preheat the oven to 425˚F. Wash and dry all produce.
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high.
  • Pat duck dry with paper towels.
  • Using a sharp knife, score skin sides of duck in a criss-cross pattern. 
    Season with salt and pepper.
  • Add duck to a cold, large non-stick pan, skin-sides down. Cook over medium heat for 10-12 min, until skin is crispy.
  • Flip and cook for 2-3 min, until golden.
Prep and finish duck
2
  • While duck cooks, thinly slice mushrooms.
  • Peel, then mince or grate garlic.
  • Roughly chop parsley.
  • Transfer duck to a parchment-lined baking sheet, skin-sides up. Reserve 1 1/2 tbsp (3 tbsp) duck fat in pan.
  • Roast duck in the middle of the oven for 8-13 min, until cooked through.**
  • When duck is done, transfer to a plate to rest for 3-5 min.
Cook linguine
3
  • While duck cooks, to the boiling water, add linguine. Cook for 10-13 min, until tender but still firm to the bite.
  • Reserve 1/4 cup (1/2 cup) pasta water. Strain linguine, then return to the pot, off heat.
Start sauce
4
  • Reheat pan from step 1 over medium.
  • When hot, add mirepoix, mushrooms, half the garlic and Italian Herb Spice Blend. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for 4-5 min, stirring often, until softened.
  • Add marinara, broth concentrate, half the pesto, reserved pasta water  and 1/2 tsp (1 tsp sugar). Reduce heat to medium-low. Cook for 3-4 min, stirring often, until sauce thickens slightly.
Make sun-dried tomato-garlic butter
5
  • While sauce cooks, to a small microwave-safe bowl, add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter and remaining garlic.
  • Microwave in 30-sec increments, until butter melts.
  • Stir in half the parsley and remaining pesto.
Finish and serve
6
  • Add linguine, spinach, remaining parsley and any duck resting juices to the pan with sauce. Cook for 1 min, stirring often, until spinach wilts. (TIP: For a lighter sauce consistency, add water, 1-2 tbsp at a time.)
  • Thinly slice duck.
  • Divide pasta between plates.
  • Top with duck.
  • Spoon sundried tomato-garlic butter over duck.
