Prep Time 5 minutes
Cook Time 15 minutes
Total Time 20 minutes
Servings: 2

Ingredients
  

  • 187 gram (6.5 oz) Linguine pasta
  • 1.5 tbsp butter
  • 3 garlic pods
  • a handful of parsley
  • 1/2 lemon
  • Salt, to taste

Method
 

  1. Cook the pasta according to instructions on the packet. Usually, boil water, add salt, add the pasta, stir till it is completely immersed, cook for 9 minutes, drain (and save a cup of pasta water). If setting aside, toss in a few drops of olive oil. If adding to the sauce immediately, you can skip the olive oil toss.
  2. Melt the butter in a pan over medium heat. Add in the garlic and stir until it cooks. Do not let it brown.
  3. Toss in the cooked pasta, along with a little pasta water if it feels dry. Add salt to taste and chopped parsley.
  4. Serve hot with lemon wedges. Squeeze lime just before eating.
