Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 grams Linguine
- 6 stalks Green onions (scallions), finely chopped
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 4 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 50 grams Grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Red chili flakes (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 0.5 cup Pasta water
Instructions
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 before draining.
While the pasta cooks, heat the olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Stir in the finely chopped green onions and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender.
Add the reserved pasta water to the skillet and stir well to create a light sauce.
Drain the linguine and add it to the skillet. Toss thoroughly to combine and coat the pasta in the sauce.
Sprinkle in the grated Parmesan cheese, salt, black pepper, and (if using) red chili flakes. Toss again to evenly distribute the seasonings.
Remove the skillet from heat and finish the dish by stirring in the lemon zest and freshly chopped parsley.
Serve immediately, garnished with extra Parmesan cheese and a sprinkle of parsley, if desired.
