Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to boil and cook the linguine to 1 minute less than al dente.
- Heat a large pan to medium-low with the extra virgin olive oil and add the garlic. Once the garlic turns golden (about 3-4 minutes) add the red pepper flakes and cook for 30 seconds more.
- Add 1 ladle of pasta water to the garlic and oil and turn the heat to medium.
- Add the linguine and toss or mix to coat. Add more pasta water if it starts to dry out. Cook until the pasta is just done (around 1 minute) then remove the pan from the heat.
- Taste the pasta and season with salt to taste. Add a big drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and all the parsley to the pan. Toss once more. If the pasta is at all dry add a couple ounces at a time of the reserved pasta water to get the consistency just right. Serve immediately with grated pecorino or parmesan. Enjoy!
Notes
- Linguine is far superior to spaghetti for this dish, though either can be used.
- Make sure to add plenty of salt to taste right before serving.
- Use high-quality extra virgin olive oil, at least to finish, but preferably for sauteing the garlic as well.
- Always reserve the pasta water. If the pasta dries out before serving, just add a few ounces of the pasta water to bring the consistency back to perfect.
- Leftovers can be saved for up to 3 days.
