Ingredients
- Linguine
- 8 ounces
- Olive oil
- 3 tablespoons
- Garlic
- 3 cloves, minced
- Capers
- 2 tablespoons, drained
- Provolone cheese
- 1 cup, shredded
- Fresh parsley
- 1/4 cup, chopped
- Salt
- to taste
- Black pepper
- to taste
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the linguine and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and reserve about 1/2 cup of pasta water.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute, being careful not to let it burn.
- Stir in the capers and cook for an additional 2 minutes, allowing their briny flavor to infuse the oil.
- Add the drained linguine to the skillet, tossing to combine with the garlic and capers. If the pasta seems dry, add a splash of the reserved pasta water to help coat the noodles.
- Remove the skillet from the heat and sprinkle in the shredded provolone cheese. Toss until the cheese is melty and the pasta is evenly coated.
- Season generously with salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste.
- Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving to add a pop of color and freshness.
Tips
- For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding crushed red pepper flakes for a spicy kick.
- You can substitute provolone with other cheeses like mozzarella or fontina for a different taste experience.
- Pair the dish with a light salad or garlic bread to complete the meal.
