Method
Step 1
Heat 4 tablespoons olive oil delicately in a pan with the chili.
Step 2
Meanwhile, cook pasta only 2/3rds of the cook time on the package directions. Drain and finish cooking pasta in the pan with the olive oil.
Step 3
Make a garlic cream by blanching the cloves in boiling water and plunging them into cold water repeatedly. Do this at least five times and then blend up the garlic with 2 tablespoons of olive oil into a smooth, aromatic cream.
Step 4
When the pasta is cooked add the garlic cream. Remove the chili.
Step 5
Arrange the pasta in the dishes and finish off with a sprinkle of lemon zest and ultra-fine shavings of roe.

Linguine
Linguine, a close relative of Fettuccine, is made from long, flat strands of pasta, but is thinner and narrower. Linguine, which means “little tongues” in Italian, originated in the Liguria region of Italy. Throughout this area, the air is fragrant with salty ocean breezes and the aroma of delicious food cooking.
Barilla® Linguine is made with non-GMO ingredients. For more information, please read our position.
