LINGUINE WITH OLIVE OIL & PARMESAN
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!

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of cold water to a boil over high heat, then salt it generously. Add the pasta and cook, stirring occasionally until al dente, tender but not mushy, about 8 minutes.
- While the pasta cooks, combine the garlic, olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt and the red pepper flakes in a large skillet and warm over low heat, stirring occasionally, until the garlic softens and turns golden, about 8 minutes.
- Drain the pasta in a colander set in the sink, reserving about a 1/4 cup of the cooking water. Add the pasta and the reserved water to the garlic mixture. Mix well. Add the parsley and lemon zest (if using). Adjust seasoning, to taste. Transfer to a large serving bowl or divide amongst 4 to 6 dishes. Serve topped with grated cheese, if desired.
SIMPLE PASTA WITH PARMESAN
Another stupidly simple side dish made from pantry staples that my family asks for over and over. The savory combination of flavors goes well with many other foods. It can be made with freshly-cooked pasta or with leftover, cooked pasta that has no sauce on it. I've included options for some variations to create not-so-simple but extremely tasty side dishes or complete, one-dish meals by adding ingredients you probably have on hand.

Steps:
- Put pasta into a microwavable dish large enough to give you a little room for stirring and tossing.
- Dot pasta with butter or drizzle with olive oil.
- Sprinkle Parmesan over top. Add plenty of fresh-ground, black pepper.
- Heat in microwave on high 3 to 5 minute at a time, stirring frequently, until thoroughly hot.
- Serve, passing the pepper grinder at the table.
- You can add 1-2 cups of cooked meat (chicken, turkey, and ham are all especially good), and/or 1-3 cups pre-cooked, chopped vegetables. I particularly recommend broccoli, zucchini, onions, and/or green, snap, or snow peas.

Tips:
- Use good quality ingredients: The better the quality of your ingredients, the better your dish will taste. This is especially true for the olive oil and Parmesan cheese.
- Don't overcook the pasta: Linguine should be cooked al dente, or slightly firm to the bite. Overcooked pasta will be mushy and unpleasant.
- Add the pasta to the sauce, not the other way around: This will help the pasta to absorb the flavor of the sauce better.
- Garnish with fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as basil or parsley, will add a pop of color and flavor to your dish.
- Serve immediately: Linguine with olive oil and Parmesan is best served immediately after it is made. The pasta will start to absorb the sauce and become mushy if it sits for too long.
Conclusion:
Linguine with olive oil and Parmesan is a simple but delicious dish that is perfect for a quick and easy meal. It is also a versatile dish that can be customized to your liking. For example, you can add other ingredients to the sauce, such as garlic, red pepper flakes, or vegetables. You can also use different types of pasta, such as spaghetti or fettuccine. No matter how you make it, linguine with olive oil and Parmesan is sure to be a hit.
