Season with salt and simmer over low heat for about 5-6 minutes. Grate the cheese and add it. Roughly chop the basil and add it as well. Immediately pour in the cream and let it simmer. Then add the sour cream. The sauce should be thick and creamy. Season well with salt and pepper. Cook the linguine (or bavette or spaghetti) according to the package instructions until al dente.
