Sometimes I enjoy my pasta with a heaping mound of sauce and other times I'm in the mood for something a little lighter and simpler. This recipe is just the ticket for that. Loads of flavor and not a lot of fuss. This dish is quick and easy and would work well as a side for a heavier dish. Goes great with a glass of riesling.... or two. Enjoy! Ingredients:
2 (9 ounce) packages linguine (or fettuccine) |
4 -5 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil |
1 cup yellow onion, chopped |
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped |
2 tablespoons fresh basil, chopped |
2 tablespoons fresh thyme, chopped |
1 tablespoon fresh oregano, chopped |
1/2 cup parmesan cheese, freshly grated (plus additional for serving) |
salt and pepper |
Directions:
1. Cook noodles according to package directions until al dente. Drain but DO NOT rinse.
2. In a medium sized skillet, heat 1 tbsp olive oil over medium-low heat.
3. Add onions and cook until translucent and tender (about 10 min). Stir in the parsley, basil, thyme, and oregano.
4. Turn the pasta into a large serving bowl and add the onion/herb mixture. Season with salt and pepper.
5. Drizzle the rest of the olive oil generously over the entire dish and toss with the parmesan cheese until all is well combined.
6. Serve immediately.
