How to Cook Linguine

How to Cook Linguine

As with many pasta recipes, linguine is best served al dente. Learn how to cook linguine to perfection by using these top tips and our failsafe method.

  • Step 1. Fill and boil your kettle.
  • Step 2. Fill a large saucepan with the boiling water and put it on high heat. Bring back to the boil.
  • Step 3. Add 1/2 tsp of salt and the dried linguine. Cook for around 10-12 mins.
  • Step 4. Once cooked, drain in a colander. Senior Recipe Developer, Mimi Morley, suggests saving some of the water while draining your linguine. It can be used as the perfect addition to your pasta sauce! This starchy water helps to thicken the sauce and ensures it clings to the texture of the pasta, creating a more cohesive linguine dish. Remember, the key to nailing your linguine is to keep it simple and let those flavours shine.
What to Do with Leftover Linguine

What to Do with Leftover Linguine

Got leftover linguine? Lucky you! Save yourself time and money by utilising your leftovers. To reinvigorate leftover linguine, toss it with some olive oil, garlic and your favourite vegetables (broccoli, peppers and mushrooms work great for this) for a quick and easy stir fry. Alternatively, you could mix your leftover linguine into a creamy sauce, sprinkle with cheese, and bake it for a wholesome and hearty pasta bake.

In the mood for something lighter? You can even whip up a refreshing linguine pasta salad by adding some fresh herbs, cherry tomatoes and a zesty vinaigrette.

If you're feeling extra creative, why not transform your leftover linguine into a delicious frittata? To do this, simply mix the linguine with beaten eggs, some grated cheese – cheddar or mozzarella are both great for this – and any leftover vegetables or meats, then cook as you would a regular frittata (bake at 190°C) for 15-20 minutes, or until the top is golden and the centre is set). This makes for a perfect, satisfying breakfast, brunch or lunch that'll keep you fuller for longer!
