Servings: 4
Ingredients
- Linguine
- 12 ounces
- Olive oil
- 3 tablespoons
- Garlic
- 3 cloves, minced
- Dijon mustard
- 3 tablespoons
- Fresh tarragon
- 1/4 cup, chopped
- Salt
- to taste
- Black pepper
- to taste
- Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup, freshly grated
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the linguine and cook according to package instructions until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Drain and set aside, reserving 1/2 cup of the pasta water.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, or until fragrant but not browned.
- Stir in the Dijon mustard and chopped tarragon. Allow to cook for an additional minute to meld the flavors.
- Add the cooked linguine to the skillet, tossing to thoroughly coat the pasta in the mustard-tarragon sauce. If the sauce is too thick, gradually add the reserved pasta water until you achieve your desired consistency.
- Season the pasta with salt and black pepper to taste, tossing once more to combine.
- Serve hot, topped generously with freshly grated Parmesan cheese and an extra sprinkle of tarragon if desired.
