Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 300 g Linguine pasta
  • 3 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
  • 4 cloves Garlic
  • 250 g Tomates cereja
  • ½ cup (120 ml) Vinho branco seco
  • 1 cup (240 ml) Homemade or high-quality vegetable broth
  • ½ cup Fresh basil
  • ½ cup Freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon Calabrian chili pepper flakes
  • a gosto Sea salt
  • a gosto Freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

Instructions

1

Cook the pasta in a large pot with plenty of salted water, following the package instructions until al dente. Reserve one cup of the cooking water before draining completely.

2

Enquanto o macarrão cozinha, aqueça o azeite de oliva na saucier em fogo médio-baixo.

3

Add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes (if using). Sauté for about 1 minute, stirring, taking care not to brown the garlic excessively, as it can become bitter.

4

Incorporate the halved cherry tomatoes into the saucier. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes start to release their juices and soften.

5

Pour the dry white wine into the pan. Increase the heat to medium-high and let it boil for 2-3 minutes, scraping the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon to release the caramelized flavors.

6

Adicione o caldo de legumes e deixe ferver por mais 5 minutos, permitindo que o molho reduza ligeiramente e os sabores se aprofundem.

7

Transfer the al dente cooked pasta directly to the saucier with the sauce. Add about half a cup of the reserved pasta cooking water.

8

Mix everything vigorously, stirring and sautéing the pasta in the saucier for 1-2 minutes. This technique emulsifies the sauce with the pasta starch, creating a creamy and clinging texture.

9

Incorporate the torn fresh basil leaves. Taste and adjust salt and black pepper to taste, adding more cooking water if the sauce is too thick.

10

Serve immediately on warmed plates, finishing with a generous portion of freshly grated Parmesan cheese and, if desired, a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil.

Chef Tips

- Cozinhe o linguine 2 minutos a menos do que indica o pacote para terminar a cocção diretamente na saucier. - Esmague levemente alguns tomates com a colher durante o cozimento para liberar suco abundante na frigideira. - Retire a panela da chama direta antes de adicionar o parmesão ralado para impedir que o queijo talhe em fios.

Variations

- Versão com frutos do mar: salteie camarões médios limpos no azeite antes do alho e devolva no momento da montagem. - Versão com azeitonas pretas: junte duas colheres de azeitonas pretas fatiadas e alcaparras dessalgadas ao refogado. - Versão picante acentuada: dobre a pimenta calabresa em flocos e acrescente uma pimenta fresca dedo-de-moça fatiada.

Substitutions

- O linguine pode ser substituído por espaguete grano duro tradicional, fettuccine fresco ou massa tipo bucatini. - O vinho branco seco pode ser substituído por quantidade equivalente de caldo de legumes com suco de meio limão. - O queijo parmesão pode ser substituído por queijo pecorino romano ou queijo grana padano ralado na hora.

How to Store

Store leftover dough in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. When reheating, take to the skillet over low heat with two tablespoons of water or vegetable broth, stirring gently to reactivate the shine of the sauce.

Can You Freeze It?

Freezing this ready-made pasta is not recommended, as the linguine loses its al dente firmness and the cherry tomatoes become wilted and watery. Immediate preparation and consumption are recommended to enjoy the texture of the fresh emulsion.

What to Serve With

Serve with slices of toasted ciabatta bread rubbed with garlic and olive oil, a glass of chilled dry white wine, and a green salad of bitter greens.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a saucier and why is it recommended for pasta?

The saucier is a pan with rounded sides and a wide bottom that facilitates the continuous movement of sauces and the mantecatura of the pasta.

Why should we never drain all the pasta water in the sink?

The hot water concentrates the starch released by the wheat, a key ingredient to bind the fat of the olive oil with the cheese in the form of a sauce.

Como evitar que os tomates-cereja fiquem com a pele dura no molho?

Cozinhe-os em fogo médio-baixo na saucier até estourarem e murcharem, permitindo que a pele amoleça na redução de vinho.

Can I use mild white table wine in the recipe?

Avoid mild or sweet wines; use exclusively dry white wine to provide the precise aromatic acidity without sweetness.
