Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the linguine and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water, then drain and set aside.
While the linguine cooks, rinse the green beans thoroughly, trim the ends, and cut them into bite-sized pieces (approximately 2-inch lengths).
Peel and thinly slice the garlic cloves.
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium heat. Add the olive oil and sliced garlic, stirring frequently, until the garlic becomes fragrant and just lightly golden (about 1-2 minutes).
Add the green beans to the skillet and stir-fry for 4-5 minutes, until they are tender but still slightly crisp.
Stir in the soy sauce, sesame oil, and red chili flakes, ensuring the green beans are evenly coated.
Add the cooked linguine to the skillet, tossing to combine. Gradually add a few tablespoons of the reserved pasta water to loosen the mixture and help the flavors blend.
Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Toss again and cook for another 2-3 minutes, ensuring everything is heated through.
Serve immediately, topped with a sprinkle of grated parmesan cheese if desired.
