340 g Linguini pasta 12 oz

30 ml Olive oil 2 tbsp

4 cloves Garlic (minced)

150 g Cherry tomatoes (halved) 1 cup

10 g Fresh basil (chopped) 1/4 cup

25 g Parmesan cheese (grated) 1/4 cup

15 ml Lemon juice 1 tbsp

2.50 g Salt 1/2 tsp

1 g Black pepper 1/2 tsp

1 g Crushed red pepper flakes 1/2 tsp

Boil the Pasta (Let’s Get Started!)

Boil a big pot of salted water and bring it to a boil. Add the linguini pasta and cook according to the package directions until it's al dente, just right for pasta. 😜 Drain the pasta, but don't forget to reserve a cup of pasta water for later (it's super helpful for your sauce!).

Sauté the Garlic (The Magic Begins)

While the pasta is cooking, heat the oil in a big pan over medium heat. Once hot, add the minced garlic and cook for about 2 minutes, or until golden brown and your kitchen smells incredible. 🧄 Your neighbors might come knocking – just saying.

Add the Cherry Tomatoes (A Pop of Color!)

Now add the halved cherry tomatoes and cook for another 5 minutes until soft and juicy. They'll burst with flavor while cooking, making a gorgeous colorful base for your sauce. 🍅

Toss It All Together (Flavor Explosion)

Add the cooked linguini to the pan with garlic and tomatoes. Add a little of the reserved pasta water (about 1/4 cup), then stir everything together. The pasta will absorb all the delicious flavors, and the sauce will coat each noodle to perfection. 💫

Add Finishing Touches (Perfection in the Making)

Squeeze in the lemon juice, add salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes for some heat, then toss in fresh basil. Stir it one last time and remove it from the heat. Get ready for some serious flavor magic! ✨

Serve and Devour (You’ve Earned It)

Place your linguini on a plate and cover it with lots of grated parmesan. Now you can enjoy! The fresh flavor, the perfect texture, and a touch of spiciness will make every bite just great. Bon appétit! 😋
