Method

Heat 1 tbsp oil in a wide saucepan over a medium heat. Add the breadcrumbs and fry, stirring, for 2 mins or until deep golden brown. Tip into a bowl and stir in ½ of the lemon zest and a ¼ of the basil; set aside.
Add the pasta, onion, garlic, remaining lemon zest and oil to the empty saucepan, breaking off the ends of the linguine and adding to the pan if needed to help it fit. Season well, then pour over 1.2ltrs boiling water, bring to a simmer and bubble over a low heat for 5 mins, stirring often.
Add the beans and lemon juice, then simmer for another 5 mins, stirring regularly, or until the beans are tender and the pasta is al dente. Remove from the heat, stir in the pecorino and leave to rest for 2 mins. Stir in the remaining basil, divide among bowls and top with the lemony breadcrumbs and extra grated pecorino, if you like, to serve.
