Ingredients
- 1 pound linguine pasta
- 2 garlic cloves peeled, hard end removed and finely minced
- 1 head of radicchio salad bottom core removed and sliced thinly
- 3 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions
- Bring to a full boil a large pot of salted water. Cook your linguine pasta al dente for 1 to 2 minutes less than the package directions.
- Meanwhile, in a large skillet, sauté the garlic over medium heat and add half of the sliced radicchio salad. Mix well and season with salt and pepper.
- Save a cup of the boiling water and drain the linguine.
- Mix well with the drained pasta in the skillet with the radicchio and garlic. Add some of the cooking water if too dry.
- Add the remaining sliced radicchio, pecorino cheese, and a few grinds of coarse pepper, give it another stir, and serve

Notes
- Variations and Substitutions
- You can use Treviso radicchio, which is milder in flavor. You can recognize it as it has a more oblong shape.
- I love linguine and fettuccine; this delicious pasta dinner can be prepared with spaghetti or bucatini.
- Parmesan cheese can also be used instead of the pecorino cheese.
- Storing and Reheating
- Storing radicchio is relatively easy, as it will last for up to a week in the crisper drawer of your refrigerator. Store away dry.
- If you are lucky enough to have some leftover pasta, reheat it over medium-low heat. Add a couple of tablespoons of water to the pasta and stir until warm and ready to be enjoyed.
