Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 350 g linguine
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh ginger, minced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon red chili flakes
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 30 g parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 120 ml pasta cooking water, reserved
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the linguine according to the package instructions until al dente. Reserve 120 ml of the pasta cooking water before draining.
While the pasta cooks, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the minced ginger and garlic to the skillet. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
Stir in the red chili flakes and cook for an additional 30 seconds.
Lower the heat slightly and add the soy sauce and lemon juice. Mix well.
Add the drained linguine to the skillet and toss to coat in the ginger garlic mixture.
Pour in the reserved pasta cooking water a little at a time, stirring constantly, until the sauce lightly coats the pasta and is silky.
Season the pasta with salt and black pepper to taste.
Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the grated parmesan cheese until it melts into the sauce.
Divide the linguine among plates and garnish with fresh parsley. Serve immediately and enjoy!
