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.
- Stir in the chopped basil. Add salt and pepper to taste. If the pasta seems too dry, add a little of the reserved pasta water, one tablespoon at a time, until you reach your desired consistency.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious Basil Linguine!
