Ingredients 

  • 10 oz (300 g) linguine, or another long pasta
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons (30 g) unsalted butter
  • 4 garlic cloves, finely chopped
  • ¼ teaspoon red chilli flakes
  • 1 cup (250 ml) dry white wine
  • Juice of half a lemon
  • ½ cup (50 g) Parmesan cheese, freshly grated
  • A handful fresh parsley
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil, salt it generously and cook the pasta al dente according to the instructions on the package. Reserve 1-2 cups of pasta water before draining.
  • Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large, deep pan and melt the butter in it. Add the garlic and red chilli flakes and cook on medium heat for 1-2 minutes, stirring often (be careful not to burn the garlic).
  • Add the white wine and cook for 5 minutes until you can no longer smell the alcohol. Add the lemon juice and continue to simmer for another minute.
  • Transfer the cooked pasta to the pan and toss well. Add a splash of the reserved pasta water if it looks too dry.
  • Stir in the grated parmesan and parsley, season to taste and serve immediately.
