Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 ounces Gluten-free linguini
- 0.25 cups Extra virgin olive oil
- 6 units Garlic cloves, thinly sliced
- 0.5 teaspoons Red pepper flakes
- 0.25 cups Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper, freshly ground
- 0.5 cups Parmesan cheese, grated (optional)
- 1 unit Lemon, for zesting
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the gluten-free linguini and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water, then drain the pasta.
In a large skillet, warm the olive oil over medium heat. Add the thinly sliced garlic and sauté until it is golden brown, stirring frequently. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
Stir in the red pepper flakes, allowing the flavors to infuse in the oil for about 30 seconds.
Add the cooked linguini to the skillet, tossing it gently to coat with the garlic oil. If the pasta seems dry, add some of the reserved pasta water, a few tablespoons at a time, until you achieve a silky texture.
Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
Remove from heat and stir in the chopped fresh parsley. Toss until well combined.
Serve immediately with a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese and lemon zest, if desired.
