fuzzyredThis week it is past for dinner, with this Ginger Garlic Linguine from the tasteofhome Contest Winning Annual Recipes 2010 cookobook.
Ingredients
12 ounces uncooked linguine
4 green onions, finely chopped
2 tablespoons minced gingerroot
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1 teaspoon dried basil
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 cup butter
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
Cook the linguine according to the package directions. Meanwhile, in a large skillet, saute onions, ginger, garlic, basil, and cayenne in butter for 3-4 minutes or until the onions are tender. Drain the linguine; add to skillet and toss to coat. Sprinkle with the cheese. Yield: 6 servings.
Thoughts and Variations
I didn't have cayenne pepper, so I used a bit less than a 1/4 teaspoon each of paprika and hot chilli powder. I didn't weigh or measure the linguine, just threw in what was left in the pack. Since this recipe was for 6, having less is okay with me. I also used around 1/4 cup butter instead of a half. It seemed to still work with the lesser amount, possibly because I had less pasta.
It was pretty tasty. It only took about 20-25 minutes start to finish, so it was quick and it's also a nice variation on boring pasta. The flavours all seemed pretty balance, nothing outweighing the others so that was nice. I would make this again, although I might vary the spices depending on how I feel.
