Pour in the double cream once the ingredients are almost cooked. I naughtily used the whole pot of cream as I like my pasta to be quite well coated in sauce (the aroma from this is mouthwatering).

Leave for a further 5 minutes. The longer you cook it now the thicker the consistency gets. The cream gets thicker, and all the flavours infuse for longer.
