Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for serving
- ½ large yellow onion, peeled and finely diced
- 4 large cloves garlic, peeled and finely chopped
- 12 ounces dry linguine
- ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 2 sprigs fresh oregano, plus more for serving
- 1½ teaspoons fine sea salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup Pearls Specialties Pitted Kalamata Olives
- 1 cup Pearls Specialties Garlic-Stuffed Olives
- 1 (28-ounce) can diced tomatoes
- 2½ cups water
- Freshly grated parmesan, for serving
Instructions
- Sauté Aromatics: Place a wide pan or skillet over medium heat. Add the olive oil, diced onion, and chopped garlic. Cook for about 3 minutes, stirring frequently, until the mixture is fragrant and golden. Remove the pan from the heat to prevent burning.
- Add Ingredients to Pan: Into the same pan, add the dry linguine, red pepper flakes, fresh oregano sprigs, sea salt, black pepper, Kalamata olives, garlic-stuffed olives, diced tomatoes with their liquid, and water.
- Simmer Pasta: Return the pan to medium-high heat and bring the mixture to a simmer. Stir occasionally to prevent the pasta from sticking to the bottom.
- Cook Pasta Covered: Reduce heat to a low simmer and cover the pan. Let it cook for 12-14 minutes, stirring every couple of minutes, until the linguine is tender and the liquid has thickened into a sauce.
- Rest and Serve: After cooking, keep the pan covered and let it sit for 2 minutes. Stir once more and serve the pasta topped with additional oregano leaves, a drizzle of olive oil, and freshly grated parmesan cheese.
Notes
- Stir frequently during cooking to prevent the pasta from sticking or burning.
- Adjust red pepper flakes according to your preferred spice level.
- Using a wide pan or skillet helps the pasta cook evenly and absorb flavors better.
- This recipe serves approximately 4 people.
- For a vegetarian option, ensure the parmesan used is suitable or substitute with a vegetarian cheese alternative.
