Ingredients for Basil Linguine
- 8 ounces linguine (fresh or dried)

How to Make Basil Linguine
- Bring a large saucepan filled with 3 to 4 quarts of water to a rolling boil. Add a generous pinch of salt.
- Add linguine to the boiling water. Cook for 3 minutes if using fresh linguine, or 9 minutes if using dried linguine, or until al dente.
- Reserve about 2 tablespoons of pasta cooking water before draining the linguine.
- Return the drained linguine to the pot. Add olive oil and toss to coat.
