Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 oz linguine pasta
- 1 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp honey
- 2 tbsp lime juice
- 0.5 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 2 scallions, sliced
- 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds (optional garnish)
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the linguine according to the package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water, then drain and set the linguine aside.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the grated ginger and minced garlic, cooking for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Stir in the soy sauce, honey, lime juice, red pepper flakes (if using), salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine.
Add the cooked linguine to the skillet, tossing to coat the pasta evenly in the sauce. If the mixture looks too dry, add the reserved pasta water a tablespoon at a time until you reach your desired consistency.
Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the chopped cilantro and sliced scallions.
Transfer the Ginger Cilantro Linguine to serving plates, garnishing with additional cilantro and toasted sesame seeds if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy!
